- Bell peppers
- Snap peas
- Carrots
- Broccoli or bok choy (optional)
- Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

- Vegetable broth or rice vinegar (non-alcoholic option)
- Oil (for cooking)

- Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips. Marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, cornstarch, and a little sesame oil for at least 30 minutes.
- While the beef marinates, cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss them with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large pan or wok, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Increase the heat and add the marinated beef to the pan in a single layer. Allow it to sear without stirring for 2-3 minutes, then stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 5 minutes). Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary, then toss in your chopped vegetables. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Pour in your sticky sauce mixture and toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Allow everything to cook together for another 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the flavors meld. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
