Notes
- Beef Tips: For the most tender results, freeze the beef for 15-20 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut thinly.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or bok choy for added flavor and nutrition.
- Spice It Up: Add a touch of gochujang (Korean chili paste) or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Noodle Options: Udon noodles are classic, but you can substitute with rice noodles or even spaghetti in a pinch.
- Make It Vegan: Swap beef for tofu or mushrooms and use a plant-based soy sauce for a delicious vegan alternative.
- Garnish Game: A squeeze of lime or a drizzle of chili oil can elevate the flavors even more.
