Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh chow mein noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/2 lb (225 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb (225 g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups bok choy, chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook chow mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and pat dry.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Spread noodles evenly and cook undisturbed until golden and crispy on the bottom, about 5–7 minutes. Flip and crisp the other side. Remove and set aside on a serving platter.
  3. In the same skillet, heat remaining oil. Stir-fry beef slices for 2–3 minutes until browned, then add shrimp and cook until pink. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add garlic, ginger, and vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Add cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return shrimp and beef to the skillet, tossing everything together.
  7. Pour the stir-fry mixture over the crispy noodles.
  8. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, press noodles firmly into the skillet while frying.
  • You can substitute chicken or tofu for the protein.
  • Serve immediately to maintain the crispy noodle texture.
