Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (about 15 minutes): Slice beef thinly. Cut broccoli into small florets. Mince garlic and ginger. If needed, cook noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook stir-fry (about 15 minutes): In a bowl, mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat with oil. Stir-fry beef until browned and just cooked through, then remove to a plate.

3. 3

   Stir-fry broccoli and aromatics: Add a little more oil if the pan is dry. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 10–20 seconds, then add broccoli with 2–3 tbsp water. Cover and steam-stir until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3–5 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine and coat: Return beef to the pan. Add noodles and pour in the oyster-soy sauce. Toss and stir until the sauce turns glossy and evenly coats the noodles, about 1–2 minutes. Finish with sesame oil if using, then serve.
