2 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)
3 tbsp sesame oil, divided 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp rice vinegar 3/4 inch piece of fresh ginger, finely
2 cups mushrooms, stems removed minced or grated
and quartered 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 cups broccoli, cut into small florets 1 Thai chili, finely chopped (can

Bibimbap Inspired Beef Stir Fry
This beef stir fry, inspired by Korean Bibimbap, is a mixture of sesame fried vegetables, beef, kimchi,
rice and a fried egg.

Prep Time Cook Time Total Time


20 mins 20 mins 40 mins

Ingredients
Rice
2 cups water
1 Carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 cup white rice
1 zucchini, cut into matchsticks
1 tsp butter
1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 pinch salt
1 cup bean sprouts
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup kimchi optional
16 oz striploin steaks thinly sliced (or
1lb ground beef)
2 tsp baking soda
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 tbsp soy sauce divided
1 tbsp Sriracha or gochujang
2 tbsp sesame oil divided
6 eggs
Sesame seeds, to serve

Instructions

1. Cook rice according to package instructions in a rice cooker.


2. Saute mushrooms in pan with 1 tsp sesame oil and 1 tsp soy sauce for 1-2 min on high heat.
Continue cooking all veggies this way individually in the same pan, setting aside in a large bowl
each time.
3. Meanwhile, cut up steak into thin strips and toss with baking soda. You could use ground beef if
you're in a pinch, but steak is better. Toss meat with baking soda, garlic, 2 tbsp soy sauce and
sriracha (or gochujang instead if using).
4. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over med-high heat, then cook steak for 2-3 min. Remove from pan.
5. Using another tiny bit of sesame oil, heat the same pan on high and add egg. Cook on med-low for
3-4 minutes until egg is semi-cooked.
6. Add a bit of rice to each bowl. I use pasta bowls because I love how wide they are and they are
great for presentation. Picking out veggies one at a time, place each in circle around bowl, then
add kimchi and cooked beef. Top with egg, then sprinkle bowl with sesame seeds and serve.

30-Minute Ginger Beef Sweet Potato Noodles
This is the EASIEST Beef Stir Fry recipe with a 2-ingredient stir fry sauce. You likely already have all
the ingredients in your pantry!

Prep Time Cook Time Total Time


20 mins 20 mins 40 mins

Ingredients Stir fry sauce

8 oz steak or fast fry beef strips 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp cornstarch 4 cloves garlic minced
1 sweet potato, spiralized (I 1 tbsp ginger, minced
bought a pre-packaged mix at the 1 tsp Sriracha
store which amounted to 2 cups) 1 tsp sesame seeds
1 head Broccoli, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
2 scallions, sliced

Instructions

1. If steak is not already cut, slice raw steak into thin strips for stir frying. In a medium-sized bowl,
add steak and toss with baking soda and cornstarch. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix all ingredients under the stir fry sauce heading together then chop broccoli,
mushrooms and red pepper. Spiralize sweet potato noodles if not buying pre-spiralized from the
store (this is what I recommend – they should be located at the front of the store with other
prepared veggies).
3. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add steak, sauteeing for 1-2 minutes or so until just cooked.
Remove from heat and set beef aside.
4. Add in broccoli and mushrooms to skillet, sauteeing for 4-5 minutes until tender. Add in red
pepper, sweet potato noodles, beef and stir fry sauce, tossing to coat. Cook another two minutes
on high until sauce thickens then remove from heat.
5. Serve immediately and garnish with scallions and extra sesame seeds (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

Cut down on prep time by using pre-spiralized noodles.


You can swap out the sweet potato for zucchini, butternut squash or even beets!
Store the leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days then reheat in a skillet over high heat.
Freeze the steak in the marinade for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then cook as
normal.

Ingredients Sauce

1 lb extra-lean ground beef 2 tbsp soy sauce


1 tbsp sambal oelek or 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
Sriracha 1 tbsp sesame oil
1 lb spaghetti (you can also 1 tbsp chili oil
use dried white noodles but 4 cloves garlic, minced
they are harder to find. 1 tsp five spice powder (note: if you
Ramen noodles are also a don't have five spice powder, you can
great substitute) use a blend of 1 star anise, 1/4 tsp
2 cups chopped bok choy cinnamon, 1/4 tsp fennel seeds, 1/4 tsp
1 bunch scallions, sliced ground cloves & 1/4 tsp black or white
Sesame seeds, for garnish pepper)

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Sprinkle some water over top then reheat in the
microwave or in a pan on the stovetop.
Freeze for up to 3 months. I suggest freezing the cooked noodles and sauce separately. Slightly
undercook the noodles so they don’t get mushy when reheated.

1 package precooked stir fry noodles
2 tbsp Olive oil for frying
4 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup soy sauce divided 1 lb shrimp about 1 package
2 tsp Sriracha hot sauce 2 cups flour
1 tbsp water 2 eggs
1 zucchini julienned 1/2 cup light mayo

1 cup sliced shittake mushrooms 1 tbsp Sriracha
1 cup red cabbage chopped
1 package bean sprouts
1 cup kimchi
4 green onions, sliced
1 tbsp butter

carrots, mushrooms, cabbage and bean sprouts) and 1 tsp soy sauce one at a time, cooking for 2-3 min until
softened. For instance, you will stir fry the zucchini for a couple minutes, then place separately in a small bowl
and continue these steps with all veggies listed until each is cooked.
2. Meanwhile, mix light mayo, sweet chili sauce and sriracha together. Set aside as the Bang Bang sauce. Heat 2
tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over med-high heat.

let drain on a paper towel lined plate. Toss in Bang Bang sauce until well-coated.

high heat. Add noodles, remaining soy sauce (should be a couple tbsp), sriracha, and water, stir frying for 5
min until noodles are softened. Divide evenly noodles among bowls.
5. Add 1 tbsp butter to the large frying pan and fry the 4 eggs over med-low heat, carefully ensuring that they
don't overcook. When yolk is still mildly runny, remove from heat and place on top of noodles.
6. Add about 1/4 cup veggies (or about a handful) to each bowl, including kimchi and green onions. Sprinkle with
sesame seeds and serve with sriracha. Enjoy!

Notes

Swap out the veggies for any other vegetables of your choice.
If you don’t like shrimp, use chicken or fish instead – the bang bang sauce will be delicious on just about
anything!
Store the leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days without the egg. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, top
