Ingredients

• 8 ounces flank steak thinly sliced
• 8 ounces lo mein noodles or spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
• 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 green onions sliced
• Sesame seeds for garnish

For the Sauce

• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Equipment

• Large pot
• Strainer
• Large skillet or wok
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tongs or wooden spoon
• Chef’s knife
• Cutting board

Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water to stop the cooking. This helps prevent sticky noodles later.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. This mix will be your glossy, flavor-packed stir-fry sauce. Set it aside within reach.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and let it sear undisturbed for about 1 minute, then stir and cook another minute or two until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside. Do not overcrowd the pan or the beef will steam instead of sear.
4. Step 4: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. This step builds a base of aroma that really brings the dish to life.
5. Step 5: Add bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the vegetables are slightly tender but still vibrant. If you prefer softer vegetables, give them another minute.
6. Step 6: Return the cooked beef and drained noodles to the pan. Give the sauce a quick stir to make sure the cornstarch is evenly distributed, then pour it into the pan. Toss well with tongs or a wooden spoon so everything is evenly coated. Let it cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the noodles are glossy.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle with green onions and a generous pinch of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy every slurpy, savory bite.

Nutrition per serving

For variation, swap in broccoli or mushrooms for the snap peas. You can also add a splash of chili garlic sauce if you enjoy more heat. Leftovers reheat wonderfully and make a perfect lunch the next day.
