Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Thinly slice beef against the grain.
  3. Slice carrots, cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, and mince garlic and ginger.
Cooking Noodles
  1. Boil noodles until just al dente per package instructions. Drain, drizzle with a little oil, and set aside to prevent sticking.
Making Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Stir to combine.
Searing Beef
  1. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
  2. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef to a plate.
Stir-Frying Vegetables
  1. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan.
  2. Add carrots and cook for 2 minutes, then add broccoli and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until bright and slightly tender.
  3. Add green peas, garlic, and ginger; stir for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
Combining All
  1. Return beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss to coat.
  2. Add drained noodles and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until noodles are heated and coated in sauce.
Finishing Touch
  1. Taste and adjust seasoning—add a splash of soy for salt or a pinch of sugar for balance. Serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds if using.
