# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 225g rice noodles (or lo mein/udon noodles)
02 - 450g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
03 - 2 tbsp cornstarch
04 - 3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided

→ Vegetables & Aromatics

05 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 120g broccoli florets
07 - 3 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
08 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
09 - 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

→ Sticky Sauce

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

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
02 - Toss the sliced beef with the cornstarch, coating evenly. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
05 - Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the sticky sauce over everything. Toss well to combine, ensuring the noodles and beef are coated in the sauce.
06 - Divide the noodles among bowls and garnish with extra sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
