Sometimes even the simplest meals can still have such great flavor. Some nights I take my inspiration from our favorite take-out places and make what I like to call #fakeaway. With restaurants coming and going and the best ones being so busy, I have been making meals like this more and more frequently. This noodle dish highlights the delicious combination of ginger and garlic over a nice sirloin steak. Ginger Beef Noodles is simple to make but so super good when you serve it up.
To keep this gluten-free (for my youngest son), I used Tamari soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce. Did you even know soy sauce had gluten in it? I was a bit shocked when I read that on a list of foods to avoid. Luckily it is pretty easy to find the gluten free variety. But you don’t have to use Tamari if you already have a brand of soy sauce you like. I also used rice ramen noodles (my fave is by Lotus Foods). Again that is just to keep it GF, so if you have another ramen noodle you prefer go for it. I will caution again using the instant noodles as they sort of fall apart when you try to mix them in with the beef and vegetables.
This is a fairly filling dish, so you probably will not need any sort of side dishes with it. But if you want to enhance the whole take-away fake-away experience, you could add some gyoza or spring rolls on the side. By the way you can also make this recipe with chicken! Just cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs and cook them the same way as the beef, just add another 5-7 minutes to make sure they are cooked through.
Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
