Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 ounces lo mein or spaghetti noodles
Protein
- 1/2 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snow peas or broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 green onions, sliced
Other
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Follow the package directions for the lo mein or spaghetti noodles. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly and set aside so the flavors meld.
- Season the proteins: Toss the sliced flank steak with 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce to lightly marinate it. In a separate bowl, do the same with the shrimp using the remaining 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce.
- Sear the steak: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and sear for about 1–2 minutes per side until browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the shrimp: Using the same pan, add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Stir-fry the vegetables and aromatics: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced red bell pepper, and snow peas (or broccoli florets) to the pan. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes over medium-high heat until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the pan along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the noodles and veggies are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Return steak and shrimp to pan: Add the seared steak and cooked shrimp back into the skillet with the noodles and vegetables. Cook everything together for another 1–2 minutes until the proteins are heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top before serving for added freshness and crunch.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Swap vegetables based on availability—carrots, mushrooms, or baby spinach work wonderfully as alternatives.
- You can substitute spaghetti noodles with rice noodles or udon if preferred.
- Marinate steak slightly longer for deeper flavor if time permits.
- Ensure shrimp is peeled and deveined for the best texture and taste.
