Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the red bell pepper and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes if using.
Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat evenly.
Add the cooked noodles and gently toss everything together. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Swap beef with chicken, shrimp, tofu, or mushrooms for variation.

Add vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, carrots, or bok choy for extra texture and nutrition.

For extra spice, add sriracha or additional chili flakes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or microwave in short intervals, stirring between each.

To make gluten-free, use rice noodles, gluten-free tamari, and gluten-free hoisin sauce.
