Ingredients:

8 oz dry noodles (ramen, udon, or spaghetti would work)
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

Once the beef is browned and cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Drain excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pan.

In the same skillet, add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the bell pepper is tender.

Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and chili paste if using.

Add the cooked noodles into the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are coated in the sauce and ingredients are well distributed.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
