Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Beef
  1. Combine beef strips with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil in a bowl; marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
  1. Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions, then drain and rinse with cold water; toss with a teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
  1. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, water, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 4: Stir-fry Beef and Vegetables
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, then stir-fry the marinated beef until browned and cooked through; remove and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the wok, then stir-fry minced ginger and garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and onion to the wok, and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
  1. Return the cooked beef to the wok with the vegetables, then add the cooked noodles and pour in the prepared sauce.
  2. Toss everything together until well combined and the sauce has thickened; serve immediately.

Notes

For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the sauce. You can also customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
