02 - 8 oz (225g) rice noodles (swap with lo mein or udon if you’d like)
03 - 2 tbsp cornstarch
04 - 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
05 - 2 cloves of garlic, minced
06 - 2 cups (120g) broccoli florets
07 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
08 - 3 tbsp vegetable oil, split into two portions
09 - 3 green onions, sliced thin (keep a little extra for topping)

→ Sticky Sauce Mix

10 - 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
11 - 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
12 - 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
13 - 2 tbsp honey or use brown sugar
14 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
15 - 2 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice

# Instructions:

01 - Follow the package directions to cook your noodles. Drain them and leave them aside.
02 - Coat the beef slices evenly with cornstarch. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a big skillet or wok on high. Arrange the meat in one layer and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until it’s nicely browned. Remove and leave on the side.
03 - Pour the last tbsp of oil into the same pan. Stir-fry the broccoli and red bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until they’re still crispy but tender. Toss in the garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions, cooking for another 1-2 minutes till they smell amazing.
04 - In a small dish, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if you want some heat). Stir until smooth.
05 - Put the beef back in the skillet with the veggies. Toss in the noodles, then pour in the sauce. Stir everything to coat the noodles and beef evenly.
06 - Scoop the noodle mixture into bowls. Add sliced green onions or sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you’d like. Enjoy right away!
