Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Protein
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Noodles
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
Sauce and Seasonings
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
Garnish

Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions, whether rice or egg noodles. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and set aside to keep warm.
- Heat the oil: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil, allowing it to get hot and fragrant.
- Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked to your liking.
- Sauté vegetables and garlic: Add the minced garlic, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry the mixture for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften but still retain some crunch.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Pour in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, then add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the sauce and heat through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top, and serve the hoisin beef noodles warm for a delicious and satisfying meal.

- Adjust the amount of hoisin and soy sauce based on your preferred level of sweetness and saltiness.
- For extra heat, add a small amount of chili flakes or fresh sliced chilies while cooking.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light Asian-style salad on the side.
