Ingredients
- 8oz egg noodles(cooked according to package directions)
- 1lb beef sirloin(very thinly sliced against the grain)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil(divided)
- 3 pcs garlic(minced)
- 1 tbsp ginger(fresh, minced)
- 1 pc red bell pepper(thinly sliced)
- 1 pc green bell pepper(thinly sliced)
- 4 pcs scallions(chopped, white and green parts separated)

Instructions
Marinate the Beef
- In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef sirloin with 2 tbsp soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
Stir-fry the Ingredients
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the wok. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Return the cooked beef to the wok. Add the cooked egg noodles, the prepared sauce, and the chili crisp. Toss everything together to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the green parts of the scallions. Toss one final time.

Tips
- Slice the beef very thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Marinating helps tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Do not overcrowd the wok when stir-frying the beef. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear.
- Garnish with extra chili crisp and chopped scallions for added texture, heat, and visual appeal.
