Ingredients
8 oz flank steak, thinly sliced
8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz lo mein noodles
1 cup baby bok choy, chopped
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
0.5 cup sliced carrots (optional)
2 green onions, chopped
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Extra green onions (optional garnish)
Lime wedges (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. In separate bowls, marinate the steak and shrimp with a bit of soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Let sit for 15–30 minutes.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions, but reduce cook time by 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Add a cornstarch-water slurry.
4. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a hot wok or skillet. Sear the steak in batches for 1–2 minutes per side. Remove. Repeat with shrimp until pink and opaque. Remove.
5. In the same wok, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry bok choy, bell pepper, spinach, and carrots for 2–3 minutes. Add green onions at the end.
6. Add the noodles to the pan along with the cooked steak and shrimp. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and toss over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes.
7. Once glossy and well combined, remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or lime wedges as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tender, chewable bites.
Slightly undercook the noodles during boiling — they’ll finish in the stir-fry.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing steak and shrimp to keep them crispy and juicy.
