Vegetables & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil (for added flavor)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup snow peas or snap peas, trimmed
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or thinly sliced

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free version)

Instructions 

  • Cook noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and sliced onions; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell peppers, snow peas, and carrots; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Return beef to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, beef broth, and sugar; stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated and heated through. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
