In a bowl, combine the ground beef, wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, and a tablespoon of oil. Mix and let marinate.

Meanwhile, clean the vegetables, cut the carrots into strips, and slice the Chinese cabbage, removing the tough central part. Dice the scallion.

In a pan, sauté the marinated beef over high heat with a drizzle of oil and set aside.

In another pot, sauté the scallion with a bit of water and then a drizzle of oil until it becomes translucent. Add the carrots and after about 3-4 minutes, add the Chinese cabbage.

Cook the durum wheat noodles in salted water, cover, and cook for 3 minutes.

To the cooked vegetables, add the beef and sauté for 5 minutes.

Drain the noodles, transfer to individual bowls, add the vegetables, and if desired, more soy sauce. Serve hot.
