- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup water or chicken stock
- 1 tsp cornstarch (for thickening)
For the Stir-Fry:
- 200g beef, diced (sirloin or flank steak works best)
- 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200g noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, or lo mein)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1–2 green onions, chopped
- 1–2 dried chilies (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, water (or stock), and cornstarch. Mix until smooth and set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Noodles:
Boil your noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
3️⃣ Sear the Beef:
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned (3–5 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
4️⃣ Sauté the Shrimp:
In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side, until pink and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
5️⃣ Cook the Vegetables:
Add red bell pepper and dried chilies (if using) to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
6️⃣ Combine Ingredients:
Return the beef and shrimp to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss well. Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7️⃣ Add the Noodles:
Add cooked noodles and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes to heat everything through.
8️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Top with chopped green onions and serve hot. Optional: add sesame seeds or a drizzle of chili oil for extra flair! 😋
