Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 oz rice noodles or lo mein noodles
Proteins
- 1/2 lb steak (e.g., sirloin), thinly sliced
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to prevent overcooking during stir-frying.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil until fully combined. This sauce will provide the savory and sweet flavor base for the dish.
- Cook Proteins: Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the thinly sliced steak for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. Next, add a little more oil and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the same skillet. Quickly stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Cook Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp, maintaining a bit of crunch for texture.
- Combine: Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well to combine and coat all the ingredients evenly in the sauce.
- Finish: Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the dish is heated through thoroughly. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions to add freshness and a mild onion flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use rice noodles for a gluten-free option or lo mein noodles for a chewier texture.
- Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste, adding more soy or hoisin sauce for extra flavor.
- For spicier variation, add sliced chili or a dash of chili flakes when stir-frying aromatics.
- Make sure not to overcook the proteins to keep them tender and juicy.
- Vegetables can be swapped or added according to preference, such as snap peas or mushrooms.
