optional garnish: sliced chives or green onions, chopped parsley
Instructions
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Set aside.
Cook the Noodles
Cook noodles according to package directions. When cooked, drain and set aside.
Stir-fry the meat and vegetables
In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the sauce, beef, and cornstarch, and combine until the cornstarch is incorporated into the sauce. Cook the beef until fully cooked, stirring constantly, about 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the beef and place in a bowl or plate; set aside. Leave any remaining liquid in the pan.
Add the vegetables and garlic, and stir constantly until vegetables are slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes. Toss in the cooked noodles stir together until the noodles and veggies are well coated. Return the beef to the wok/skillet, and combine.
Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
It's important not to overcook the beef. To help prevent this, cut it into thin slices first. If you find it's starting to get tough while cooking, remove the beef from the pan and continue cooking the veggies until softened. Then add the beef back to the pan. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days.
