Step-by-Step Method
Prep first
Cook the noodles according to the package, then drain well. Slice the vegetables and meat. Measure the soy sauce so the stir-fry can move quickly once the pan is hot.
Sear the meat
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the oil, then stir-fry the meat for 2–3 minutes until it changes color and starts to brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Add the vegetables
Toss in the vegetables and garlic. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes so they soften slightly but still keep some bite.
Combine noodles and sauce
Add the drained noodles. Drizzle in 3/4 cup soy sauce, then increase toward 1 cup to taste. Stir and toss over high heat for 1–2 minutes until everything is evenly coated.
Serve
Serve right away while hot. If you like, top with sliced scallions or a pinch of sesame seeds.
