Instructions
Cook the Noodles:
Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, ground ginger, sugar, and water until smooth.
Cook the Beef:
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add garlic and onion. Sauté for 1 minute. Add bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots, cooking until slightly tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
Combine Ingredients:
Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat. Add the cooked noodles and toss everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens.
Serve:
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
