    From the Test Kitchen

    Hearty, delightfully chewy udon noodles are a comfort food staple perfect for pairing with umami-rich sauces, like the combo of smooth peanut butter spread, soy sauce, sambal oelek, and more that we’re using in this dish. For a final kick, we’re topping it all with a sprinkle of furikake—a vibrant Japanese blend that highlights dried seaweed, sesame seeds, and chile flakes.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Remove the honey and noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.

    Make the sauce
    2 Make the sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter spread, vinegar, honey (kneading the packet before opening), soy sauce, 1/4 cup of warm water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

    Start the stir-fry
    3 Start the stir-fry

    Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef, mushroom pieces, and sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add the chopped bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bok choy leaves are wilted and the beef is just cooked through.

Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished stir-fry garnished with the furikake. Enjoy!
