OK... so I'm not quite recovered from my Japanese venture last week, so I decided to dip again into their wonderful culinary pool and pull out this recipe for beef noodles...
Ingredients:
1 lb. of thinly sliced flank steak
3/4 cup of diced scallions, green and white parts (about 1/2 bunch)
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. mirin (Japanese cooking sake)
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 cups of cooked somen noodles (thin wheat noodles), cooking water reserved
Directions:
Cook somen noodles according to package directions, usually for about 3 - 4 minutes in boiling water removed from direct heat. Put the cooked noodles into deep bowls.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the flank steak and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked to medium-rare. Add the scallions, cayenne, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar and mix well. Add the whole mixture to the noodles and then add 1 cup of the reserved noodle cooking liquid to each bowl. Serve immediately - the beef will cook through to medium well/well in the hot broth.
Serves 2.
