    Start by boiling water in a large pot. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8 to 10 minutes.

    While the noodles are cooking, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until they become translucent.

    Next, add minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the pepper softens.

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is browned and cooked through.

    Stir in the chopped tomato, chili powder, and soy sauce. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

    Once the noodles are done, drain them and add them to the skillet with the beef mixture. Toss everything together until evenly combined.
