Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Cut any larger broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.
- To a large bowl, add vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) sugar and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Whisk to combine, then set aside. (NOTE: This is your sauce!)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add beef to the dry pan. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add ginger-garlic puree, Asian Sesame Blend and half the sesame oil. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a plate.
- To the pan, add broccoli and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp and water has evaporated.
- Add remaining sesame oil and carrots. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until carrots are tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add noodles. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Strain and rinse noodles with warm water.
- Return noodles to the pot and set aside.
- To the pot with noodles, add beef-veggie mixture and sauce mixture (from step 1). Toss to combine.
- Divide noodles between bowls.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sesame and ginger-garlic combination delivers a satisfying base flavour; some reviewers found the sauce a little flat or under-seasoned.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this a straightforward weeknight cook, and some simplified prep by tossing carrots in raw after the beef.
- Suggestions: Add extra sauce to keep the noodles from drying out, and consider boosting flavour with a splash of sriracha or additional spice from home.
- Leftovers: Leftovers kept well and were enjoyed the next day, with one reviewer noting the portions were just right for two meals.
- Protein: Several reviewers preferred beef strips over ground beef, finding strips better suited to the texture of a chow mein stir-fry.
