Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to coat the beef.
Add shredded carrots and snow peas; cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine and heat through.
Stir in green onions and garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

Make it vegetarian by using plant-based crumbles and replacing oyster sauce with more hoisin.

Use any stir-fry friendly vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat with a splash of water or soy sauce in a skillet or microwave in 30-second bursts.
