Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 oz rice noodles or lo mein noodles
Proteins
- 1/2 lb steak (e.g., sirloin), thinly sliced
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the rice noodles or lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil until fully combined to create a flavorful stir-fry sauce.
- Cook Steak: Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the thinly sliced steak for 2 to 3 minutes until nicely browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Shrimp: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and cook the peeled and deveined shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the steak.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burned.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender-crisp, maintaining their vibrant colors and slight crunch.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients with the sauce.
- Finish and Garnish: Continue cooking the combined stir-fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot.
Notes
- Use fresh vegetables and proteins for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure not to overcook shrimp as they can become tough and rubbery.
- If rice noodles stick together, rinse them briefly with cold water after cooking.
- For a spicier version, add chili flakes or sliced fresh chili peppers during vegetable stir-fry.
- Lo mein noodles can be substituted with rice noodles for a different texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
