Ingredients
  

200g egg noodles (or your preferred noodles)

250g ground beef

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

2 cups bok choy, chopped

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

      Brown the Beef: Push the aromatics to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

        Add Vegetables: Once the beef is fully cooked, add the sliced bell pepper and chopped bok choy to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender yet still crisp.

          Combine the Sauces: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste (if using). Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet, stirring well to combine and coat all ingredients.

            Add Noodles: Gently add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are well coated in the sauce and heated through. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

              Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish each serving with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
