# Instructions:
01 -
Chop up your ingredients—slice the beef, mince the garlic, grate that ginger, and prep the veggies. Having it all ready makes cooking a breeze!
02 -
Boil a pot of water, toss in your noodles, and follow what the packet says. Once done, drain them, rinse under cool water, and set aside.
03 -
Mix ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce in a small bowl. Coat the beef in this and let it sit for a while, at least 15 minutes.
04 -
Warm up a skillet or wok with a bit of oil. Toss in the carrots, bell peppers, and any extras you picked. Stir them around for 3-4 minutes until they soften a little.
05 -
Move your veggies to one side of your pan. Use a bit more oil and add the marinated beef to the skillet. Stir it around for 5-7 minutes or until it's all browned and cooked through.
06 -
Mix the noodles into the skillet, along with any leftover marinade. Stir well so everything is coated. Toss in the green onions and give it another 2 minutes.
07 -
If you're using it, drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and mix it all up. Sprinkle sesame seeds, cilantro, and chili flakes on top, and serve it right away.
# Notes:
01 -
To keep your veggies crisp and beef tender, stir-fry on high heat and give things space in the skillet. Overcrowding can make it soggy.
