Instructions:
- Cook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili paste, sugar, and rice vinegar or lime juice. Set aside.
- Cook the meat: Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add a little oil, then add the ground meat. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the bell peppers and carrot, and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Combine and stir-fry: Add the cooked ground meat back into the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated in the sauce and heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve hot.
