2. In the meantime, dice green onion, set aside
3. Mix all beef marinate ingredients together in a mixing bowl; slice beef against the grain into thin slices; add to the bowl; mix thoroughly and set aside
4. Place a large pan over medium heat; add 2 TBS (30ml) oil
5. Chop onion to thin slices; add to the pan; halve carrot; chop at an angle to thin slices; add to the pan; stir up.
6. Chop broccoli to bite size; add to the pan and stir occasionally until the broccoli turns deeper green
7. Good time for some cleaning;
8. Push everything in the pan to one side; add 1 TBS (15ml) oil; spread the beef out on the empty side; cook undisturbed until the bottom side is brown
9. Quickly; mix all sauce ingredients together
10. Once the beef is brown on the bottom; stir everything in the pan together
11. Add the cooked noodles; stir then pour the sauce on; use a pair of tongs to mix everything together thoroughly; cook until thickened; taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce/salt/pepper if needed; remove from heat
12. Serve warm; sprinkle some diced green onion for garnishing. Enjoy!
