👩🍳 Instructions
- Noodle Prep: Boil your noodles according to the package directions. In the last 2 minutes of boiling, toss the broccoli into the water to blanch them! Drain and set aside. 🍝🥦💧
- The Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper. Set aside. 🌪️🥣
- Sear the Beef: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and sear until browned (about 2 minutes per side). Remove from the pan. 🥩🔥
- Stir-Fry Veggies: In the same pan, add the carrots, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and the carrots soften slightly. 🥕🧄💨
- The Grand Finale: Toss the noodles, broccoli, and cooked beef back into the pan. Pour that delicious sauce over everything. 🌀🤤✨
