1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, the corn starch and a drizzle of sesame oil. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
400 g beef sirloin, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp corn starch, 1 tbsp sesame oil
Boil the egg noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside. Toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
250 g egg noodles
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then toss in the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the green beans and yellow bell pepper, cooking for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
200 g green beans, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp fresh ginger, 1 large yellow bell pepper
Return the beef to the pan, then pour in the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce and hoisin sauce. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 3 tbsp soy sauce
Toss in the cooked egg noodles, mixing everything together for another 2 minutes until heated through. If needed, add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
Sprinkle with black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
