• 3 cups unsalted chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until pliable, then drain.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the unsalted chicken stock and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet along with the low sodium soy sauce and black pepper.

Step 9

Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients, allowing the noodles to absorb some of the sauce.

Step 10

Return the beef to the skillet and mix well, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro, if using, before serving.
