  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Start by preparing the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
