  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

For the stir-fry:

  • 8 oz (225 g) lo mein noodles or spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 cup (100 g) sliced carrots
  • 1 cup (100 g) broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) sliced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Make the sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and sugar. Set aside.

2. Prepare the noodles

  1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Cook the beef

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

4. Stir-fry the vegetables

  1. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5. Combine everything

  1. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
  2. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together until the sauce coats the noodles and the dish is heated through.
  3. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and stir to combine.

6. Serve

  • Serve immediately as a main dish. Enjoy with extra soy sauce or chili flakes, if desired.

Notes

  • Protein swap: Replace beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variety.
  • Vegetable options: Use snap peas, mushrooms, cabbage, or zucchini based on your preference.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for the best results.
