Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Push beef to the side, add vegetables, and stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender and edges char slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Crumble noodles into the skillet, then pour soy sauce and sesame oil over everything and toss until coated, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Divide between bowls and serve with chili sauce on the side for dipping.
