Equipment

- 1 pot for boiling noodles
- 1 colander
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced any color
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrots, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and grated ginger. Pour this sauce over the cooked beef and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Gently toss in the cooked egg noodles, ensuring they are evenly coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and serve warm, garnishing with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Feel free to incorporate other vegetables such as broccoli or snap peas for added nutrition. Adjust the level of spices or sauces according to your personal preference.
