Beef Stir Fry with Rice Noodles

Instructions

1. Prepare the noodles
   Soak the rice noodles in hot water according to package instructions until they are soft but still slightly firm. Drain well and set aside.
2. Marinate the beef
   In a medium bowl, combine the beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
3. Prepare the sauce
   In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
4. Cook the beef
   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 1 minute. Then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the beef is browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove from the wok and set aside.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables
   In the same wok, add the remaining oil. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
6. Combine all ingredients
   Return the beef to the wok. Add the drained rice noodles and sauce mixture. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce and everything to heat through.
7. Finish and serve
   Add the green onions and toss quickly to incorporate. Remove from heat and serve immediately in warm bowls, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
