  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas or bok choy (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or extra green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Marinate the Beef

    • In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  • Cook the Noodles

    • Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain, toss with a little oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.

  • Prepare the Sauce

    • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and black pepper.

  • Sear the Beef

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add beef in a single layer, sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and caramelized. Remove and set aside.

  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
    • Add bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

  • Combine Everything

    • Return beef to the pan, then pour in the prepared sauce. Toss to coat.
    • Add cooked noodles and mix until evenly coated and heated through.

  • Garnish & Serve

    • Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Protein Variations: Swap beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
