Instructions

Cook Noodles: Prepare the rice noodles or lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent sticking.
Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk them together until fully blended for the stir-fry sauce.
Cook Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
Cook Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside with the steak.
Sauté Aromatics: Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant, making sure they don’t burn.
Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant.
Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet along with the drained noodles. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the contents and toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and proteins are evenly coated.
Finish Cooking: Stir-fry the combined mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through and allow the sauce to meld with the noodles and ingredients.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top before serving. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use rice noodles for a gluten-free option, or lo mein noodles for a chewier texture.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce depending on your preferred saltiness.
You can substitute vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms based on availability.
If you like spice, add a dash of chili flakes or Sriracha to the sauce.
Make sure not to overcook the shrimp and steak to keep them tender.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
