  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 pound (450 g) beef sirloin or chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Noodles

Cook the cellophane noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water until they become soft and translucent. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

Add the carrot, bell pepper, snap peas, and mushrooms (if using). Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Cook the Meat

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the thinly sliced beef or chicken to the other side.

Stir-fry the meat until it is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked cellophane noodles to the skillet.

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), and chicken or beef broth. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.

Season and Serve

Season with ground black pepper and drizzle with sesame oil, if using.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Enjoy your meal!
