Ingredients :
  • 1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 heaping tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 14- ounce package stir fry rice noodles
  • 3 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 pound top sirloin steak , cut against the grain into thin 2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas

  • 1 egg
  • 4 scallions , whites only chopped
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

Directions :

  1. Combine the broth, sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce and lime juice in a bowl, whisking well until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Cook the stir fry rice noodles according to package directions for al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss with 1 teaspoon of the oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

  3. Season the beef with the salt.

  4. Heat another 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, browning on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  5. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside. Pour off any liquid and wipe the pan with a paper towel.

  7. Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the egg in the empty side. Using your spatula, scramble right in the pan until cooked, then mix in with the vegetables. Return the beef the skillet and pour the peanut sauce over top.

  8. Toss in the rice noodles, coating all ingredients well and allowing to heat.
