# Ingredients:

→ Sauce & Seasonings

01 - Salt and black pepper, use as much as you like
02 - 30 ml plain oil for frying
03 - 240 ml beef stock, pour in stages
04 - 30 ml sesame oil
05 - 15 ml hoisin sauce
06 - 45 ml soy sauce

→ Aromatics

07 - 2 green onions, chop up and separate the greens and whites
08 - 2.5 cm chunk of ginger, grate it up
09 - 3 garlic cloves, mince them up

→ Main Components

10 - 225 g noodles, egg or rice, your call
11 - 225 g mushrooms, slice them up (shiitake, button, or cremini are all good)
12 - 450 g beef sirloin or stew beef, sliced really thin

# Steps:

01 - Sprinkle the leftover green onions over the top before digging in. Taste and add more salt and pepper if it needs it.
02 - Throw the beef back in with your pan-fried veggies. Pour in both the prepped sauce and the rest of your stock. Let it bubble together for a few minutes till the sauce gets a bit thick. Toss in the cooked noodles and mix everything up so it all gets coated.
03 - Mix up your soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and half your beef stock in a bowl till it looks smooth.
04 - Pour the rest of the oil in your pan. Stir-fry mushrooms till they’re brown and no liquid’s left. Toss in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white chunks of green onion, cooking till they smell awesome.
05 - Heat up 15 ml oil in a big pan or wok on high. Toss in your beef slices and fry just till they're browned. Hit them with a little salt and pepper. Scoop out the beef and leave aside.
06 - Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Drop in your noodles and cook till just barely soft, following the package directions. Strain, rinse with cold water, and pop them aside.
07 - Cut your beef into thin strips going across the grain. Wipe and slice the mushrooms. Dice up garlic, grate ginger, and chop the onions—remember to keep green and white parts separate.

# Notes:

01 - Slice the beef really thin so it cooks fast and doesn't get chewy. Mixing up different mushrooms makes it taste even better.
