Serves 6
A boyhood favorite.
Ingredients
- 2 Styrofoam cups of the pre-packaged instant ramen noodles
- 1 pound steak (you choose but I like a New York for this)
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 4 ripe, medium sized tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 tablespoons black bean sauce, (found in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets)
- 1 tablespoon water
- Green onions (scallions, chopped fine for garnish
Directions
- Cook noodles according to package directions--for the styrofoam type I just fill with water and microwave 2 minutes, then drain well. For the plastic bag kind--I boil them without the seasoning packet then drain well
- Slice steak into very thin slices
- Preheat a pan or wok on stovetop and heat really well over medium heat, then add oil
- When the oil is smoking, and not until-- add beef and tomato and stir fry for a couple minutes until beef changes color and is cooked through
- In a small bowl mix black bean sauce with water- -set aside
- Add drained noodles and black bean sauce to the beef and tomato and stir the whole business until the flavor is through everything and all is heated
- Serve
