Directions:

Prepare the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and white pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes. Set aside.
Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper, carrots, and bok choy. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly. Add the noodles and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful Asian Spiced Beef Noodles as a satisfying main dish!
