Instructions

In a bowl, toss beef slices with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Cook noodles per package directions, drain and toss with sesame oil; set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat.
Add beef strips in a single layer; sear without stirring for about 1‑2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Work in batches to avoid crowding. Transfer cooked beef to a plate.
Lower heat to medium. In the same pan, add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and chili paste (if using). Let the sauce bubble and slightly thicken, about 1‑2 minutes.
Add crispy beef and cooked noodles back to the pan; toss everything together to coat in sauce and heat through.
Plate immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra crunch, dredge beef in a thin layer of flour before cornstarch.
Stir‑fry in batches to keep beef crispy.
Adjust honey and soy ratio to taste—add more honey for sweetness or more soy for saltiness.
Add vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli for a fuller meal.
