Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Noodles and Vegetables:

- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Marinate the beef by gently coating sliced meat with soy sauce and cornstarch, allowing the mixture to infuse flavors for approximately 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Craft a vibrant sauce by blending soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and well-integrated.
- Prepare noodles according to package instructions, ensuring they are cooked al dente, then drain and reserve.
- Warm vegetable oil in a spacious wok or skillet over robust heat, then introduce marinated beef, searing until edges turn golden and meat is nearly fully cooked.
- Incorporate bell peppers, onions, and snap peas into the sizzling pan, quickly stir-frying until vegetables maintain a crisp texture and slight vibrant color.
- Pour prepared sauce over beef and vegetables, then add cooked noodles, tossing enthusiastically to ensure complete coating and even heat distribution.
- Transfer to serving plates, garnishing with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Customize marination by adding a splash of rice wine or Shaoxing wine for deeper flavor complexity.
- Prevent noodles from sticking by rinsing with cold water immediately after cooking and tossing with a little sesame oil.
- Select tender beef cuts like sirloin or flank steak for the most melt-in-your-mouth texture during quick stir-frying.
- Adjust sauce sweetness by reducing brown sugar for lower-carb diets or substituting with monk fruit sweetener for keto-friendly versions.
