Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces of rice noodles or egg noodles
  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons of canola oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 cup of sliced bell peppers any color
  • 1 cup of broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes optional
  • 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Method
 

  1. Begin by boiling the noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
  2. In a large frying pan or wok, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Incorporate the minced garlic and ground beef into the pan. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to remain slightly crisp.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring well to ensure everything is coated.
  6. Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet, mixing thoroughly until the noodles are evenly distributed and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
