Method
 

Prepare Noodles and Beef
  1. Boil a large pot of water and cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While noodles cook, toss the thinly sliced flank steak with cornstarch in a bowl to lightly coat.
  3. Whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
Stir Fry and Assemble
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes until browned and caramelized.
  3. Pour the prepared hoisin sauce mixture over the beef and toss to coat thoroughly.
  4. Add the cooked, drained noodles to the skillet and toss for 2 minutes until the sauce is thick and glossy.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your wok is screaming hot before adding the beef to get those crispy edges. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
