1 tbsp honey
-
1 tsp sesame oil

2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tsp grated ginger

👨🍳 STEP-BY-STEP
1️⃣ MARINATE THE BEEF (5-30 MINS)
-
Combine hoisin, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
-
Toss sliced beef in half the marinade and set aside.
2️⃣ COOK THE NOODLES
-
Boil noodles 1 minute less than package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
3️⃣ SEAR THE BEEF
-
Heat oil in a wok or large pan over high heat.
-
Add beef in a single layer (don’t overcrowd!) and cook 1-2 mins per side until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
4️⃣ STIR-FRY VEGGIES
-
In the same pan, stir-fry bell pepper for 2 mins until slightly charred.
5️⃣ BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
-
Add noodles, beef, and the remaining marinade to the pan.
-
Toss everything for 1-2 mins until the noodles are coated and sticky.
-
Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds.
💡 PRO TIPS
✔ Extra crispy beef? Pat the beef dry before marinating.
✔ No fresh noodles? Use dried noodles (cook according to package).
✔ Vegetarian swap: Replace beef with firm tofu or mushrooms.
✔ Meal prep: Stores well for 2 days – reheat with a splash of water.
