How to make ginger beef sweet potato noodles

Here's exactly how to make these sweet potato noodles step-by-step. The whole dish comes together in one pan so it's super easy for busy weeknights!

  1. Mix stir fry sauce together and pour over steak in a large bowl, marinating for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over high heat, then stir fry steak and all of marinade, for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, leaving sauce in the skillet.
  3. Add broccoli and mushrooms, sauteeing until tender. Add in red pepper. sweet potato noodles and beef. Cook another two minutes on high until sauce thickens then remove from heat.
  4. Garnish with scallions and extra sesame seeds, then serve and enjoy!

Spiralizing sweet potato noodles

I may have cheated a little and bought some pre-spiralized sweet potato noodles at the store. Have you seen these packages at your local grocery store yet? When I'm in a rush or don't have too much time to chop and prep veggies, I love stopping by the front of my local grocery store and grabbing pre-packaged veggies. Anything from chopped and peeled butternut squash to spiralized zucchini, different veggie blends and cauliflower rice.

I swear, these things just make life so much easier and to me it's worth the little bit of extra cost.

You can also spiralized the sweet potato at home using a spiralizer. You'll want to peel the sweet potato first, then attach the sweet potato between the two prongs of the spiralizer and push it through. You'll have strands of sweet potato noodles in no time! You can even spiralize them up to 2 days in advance so all you have to do is add them to your stir fry at the last minute.

How long to cook sweet potato noodles

Any type of spiralized vegetable will cook much quicker than regular noodles, so you're only going to saute these sweet potato noodles for 2 minutes or so. I use high heat so that they will maintain their crunch but also become a little bit tender. Because this is a stir fry recipe, you'll want to use a large skillet on high heat or a wok so that your vegetables become tender-crisp. This will also help to thicken the sauce.

Ingredient substitutions

This sweet potato noodle stir fry is super versatile and there are many different substitutions you can make. Here they are listed below.

Spiralized sweet potato – You can spiralize any vegetable for this recipe, not just sweet potato. Zucchini or butternut squash would be a good fit, or even beets. If you use zucchini, you can also make the calorie and carb count lower on this recipe.

Beef – You don't have to use beef with this recipe! You can use chicken as well, but you will have to cook the chicken a little bit longer, around 8 minutes or so. You can also use tofu to make this recipe vegetarian and still incorporate some protein.

Sauce – Use tamari or coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce if you're trying to make this recipe gluten-free. You can also skip the sriracha and sesame seeds without affecting the flavour of the sauce.

Vegetables – This recipe uses broccoli, mushrooms and red pepper as supplemental veggies, but you can just use one veggie here. I'd recommend keeping either the broccoli or red pepper if you have to choose.

Are sweet potato noodles healthy?

Yes they are! Sweet potatoes are highly nutritious. Not to be mistaken with the Korean dish Jap Chae, which uses glass noodles that are made with sweet potato starch, spiralized sweet potato noodles are a great way to add a more nutritious carb to your meal. I love noodle stir fries but I don't always use rice noodles or chow mein noodles because they are high in calories and not particularly nutritious.

Sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which help support your immune system and healthy vision, as well as enhancing brain function. Try your next stir fry or pasta recipe with sweet potato noodles today!

Storing and reheating leftovers

This sweet potato noodle stir fry makes great leftovers, but you need to eat them fast so that they don't become too soggy. Instead of reheating in the microwave, I'd recommend reheating in a large skillet over high heat on your stove. This way you can revive the dish and add a bit of crunch back in, instead of making the leftovers more watery in the microwave.

Make sure you eat up the leftovers in 2 to 3 days for best results.

Freezing components of this recipe

Unfortunately you can't freeze this cooked dish, but you can freeze the steak in the marinade! This way, part of the recipe is already done for you and you can just get on with cooking it.

If freezing the steak, defrost overnight in the fridge before cooking. Do not attempt to defrost in the microwave.
