Instructions

Prepare the ingredients:

  • Finely shred cabbage, cut bell pepper into thin strips, cut mushrooms into slices, cut carrots into matchsticks, grate ginger and garlic, and thinly slice green onions.
    3 cups (260g) shredded cabbage, 1/2 red bell pepper, 6 medium cremini mushrooms, 2 medium carrots, 5 cloves garlic, 1 inch (2.5cm) piece of fresh ginger, 3 tablespoons sliced green onions

Make the sauce:

  • Whisk all the ingredients together until combined.
    1/3 cup (80ml) soy sauce, 1/3 cup (80ml) oyster sauce, 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth, 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 tablespoon corn starch, pinch of red pepper flakes

Cook the noodles:

  • Cook according to package instructions and drain. The instructions for my noodles say to add them to very hot water for 4 minutes, but I prefer to leave them in for 3 minutes and then they finish cooking in the pan.

Stir fry:

  • Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. When hot, add the ground beef in an even layer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until brown (don't stir), then turn over and let the other side brown. Then start stirring the beef and cook until no longer pink. Transfer to a plate.

  • Add garlic, ginger, and green onions, cook for 30-60 seconds.
