  3. In the pan with the meat fat remaining, add all the prepared aromatics and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Once fragrant, add the soaked rice noodles and the sauce ingredients (oyster sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, gochugaru, a little water) and stir-fry quickly over high heat to cook the noodles.
  5. When the noodles are cooked, add the seared galbi-sal, lime leaves, water dropwort, and the green parts of scallions, toss lightly once more, then squeeze lime juice and mix in crushed sesame seeds to finish.

  4. Finally, add lime juice and crushed sesame seeds, toss gently, and serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Rice noodles should not be boiled; soak in cold water for at least 1 hour before using to absorb sauce well and remain chewy without swelling.
  • Lemongrass and lime leaves can be easily purchased as a bundled pack at large Asian grocery stores or online malls.
