300g flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
200g ramen or egg noodles
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili flakes or 1 fresh red chili, sliced (optional)
100g broccolini or bok choy
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and toss it with cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let it marinate.
2. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Sear beef slices until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Add a bit more oil, then stir-fry garlic, ginger, and chili for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Pour in remaining soy sauces, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until sticky.

Notes
For the best texture, don’t overcook your noodles—keep them slightly chewy.
You can swap beef with tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
Marinate the beef for at least 10 minutes to lock in flavor and tenderness.
