Notes
This recipe works best in non-stick pan so those noodles don't stick, and you can stir them easily.
If you don't have sweet soy sauce, substitute with 1/2 Tb soy sauce + 1/2 tsp sugar.
Most any kind of beef cut can be used as long as it is thinly sliced, about 1/8" thick or less. Top round, flank steak, sirloin, etc. would be fine. To make slicing easier, it will need to be slightly frozen.
Leftovers heated in the microwave are pretty good too.
Try a whimsical pairing with Lambrusco, a sparkling Italian red wine.
