Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces chow mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers any color
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup bean sprouts

Method
 

  1. Cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  3. Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the bell peppers and carrots, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Add the cooked chow mein noodles, bean sprouts, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Serve hot.
