Korean-Style Beef Skewers with Rice Noodles

From Cooking Light



Ingredients:
6 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chile paste, such as Huy Fong)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1-pound) top sirloin steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
1/2 cup water
8 ounces wide rice sticks
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions

Directions:
1. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a zip-top bag. Add beef to bag; seal. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning once. Remove steak from bag; reserve marinade. Thread steak evenly onto 8 (8-inch) skewers. Grill 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Combine reserved marinade and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute.

3. Soak noodles in boiling water until tender; drain. Place noodles in a large bowl. Pour reserved marinade mixture over noodles; sprinkle with onions; toss. Serve with skewers.

Comments:
Pretty easy to make (especially when Adam takes over for the grilling steps.) I couldn't find "wide" noodles, so we ended up with regular rice noodles. The marinade/sauce is surprisingly sweet. Although, perhaps not since there IS 1/3 cup of sugar in it. But I wasn't expecting that so it was interesting. Adam says it's a keeper as well.
