instructions
    1

    Start by cooking the egg noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    2

    In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    3

    Add thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through.

    4

    While the beef cooks, julienne the carrot and bell pepper and chop the green onions.

    5

    Add the carrot and bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

    6

    Now, add the cooked noodles to the skillet, along with soy sauce. Toss everything together over heat for another 2 minutes, letting the noodles soak up the flavors.

    Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top and give it a final toss. Remove from heat and serve hot.

How to be creative
  • Add your favorite vegetables such as broccoli or snow peas for added color and nutrition.
  • Incorporate some sesame oil at the end for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Top with sesame seeds or crushed peanuts before serving for an added crunch.
Important Tips
  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef in soy sauce and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a high smoke point oil, like vegetable or canola oil, for stir-frying to avoid burning.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure the beef gets a nice sear.
