# Instructions:
01 -
Get all your ingredients ready. Cut beef into strips, grate ginger, mince garlic, and chop your veggies. Keep them close for easy use.
02 -
Boil water in a pot. Cook the noodles following the package guide, then drain and cool them under cold water. Set aside.
03 -
Mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Let the beef sit in the marinade for at least 15 minutes.
04 -
Pour 1 tbsp of oil into a large pan or wok and heat it over medium-high. Stir-fry the carrot, bell peppers, or other veggies for 3-4 minutes until they soften a bit.
05 -
Move the veggies to one side of the pan. Add the remaining oil, toss in the marinated beef, and stir-fry until it’s browned and cooked through (5-7 minutes).
06 -
Mix the cooked noodles and leftover marinade into the skillet. Stir it all together so the noodles are coated. Add green onions and cook for 2 extra minutes.
07 -
If you're using sesame oil, drizzle it on top and stir. Garnish with sesame seeds, cilantro, or chili flakes (optional), then serve.
# Notes:
01 -
To keep the beef tender and veggies crisp, use high heat and don't overcrowd the pan.
