Preparing the Dish

  • Marinate the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Allow it to marinate for 15-30 minutes to enhance the flavors and tenderness.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Set this aside.
  • Cook the Noodles: Follow the package instructions to cook your noodles. Drain and toss with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  • Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat a skillet or wok with a splash of oil. Stir-fry the marinated beef for 2-3 minutes until browned. Set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender but crisp.
  • Combine: Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and cook for about 2 minutes until everything is heated and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Serve: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing gently until everything is coated in the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For heat, add sliced fresh chilies. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
