Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 250g beef strips (flank or sirloin)

Sauces and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Noodles

  • 200g Chinese egg noodles, ramen, or spaghetti

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 100g snap peas
  • 2 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Slice the beef into thin strips to ensure quick cooking and tenderness. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and ginger to release their aroma.
  2. Cook the noodles: Boil noodles according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking and prevent stickiness. Set aside.
  3. Sear the beef: Heat a splash of oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add beef strips seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still juicy. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. Stir-fry aromatics and vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add garlic, ginger, and firmer vegetables like bell peppers. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Add quicker-cooking vegetables such as snap peas and green onions last to keep their crunch.
  5. Combine beef, noodles, and sauce: Return beef to the pan. Pour in hoisin and soy sauces. Add drained noodles and toss together to coat evenly. Cook an additional 2 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Finish with sesame oil and garnish: Drizzle sesame oil over noodles for a nutty aroma. Toss gently, remove from heat, and garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Use high heat to quickly sear beef and lock in juices.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking to streamline the process.
  • Undercook noodles slightly as they will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • Adjust hoisin and soy sauce quantities to taste.
  • Let the dish rest off heat for a minute to absorb flavors fully.
