2 cloves garlic 
1 fresh ginger piece of about 2 cm

For the sauce
4 tbsp soy sauce - 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce 
1 tbsp honey 
1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice 
1 tsp sesame oil 
1 tsp sambal or sriracha to taste
50 ml water 
1 tsp cornflour
Optional upgrade
- fresh lime a squeeze, optional just before serving · to taste

Method
- Slice the pepper into strips, cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrot into thin strips and slice the spring onion into rings. Finely chop the garlic and grate the ginger.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together. Stir the cornflour thoroughly first so you don't get any lumps.
- Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, but take them out of the water about a minute early. They'll continue cooking in the wok shortly.
- Pat the steak bites thoroughly dry.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan until smoking hot with a little oil.
- Fry the steak bites in a single layer for about 1-2 minutes. They don't need to be fully cooked inside yet.
- Remove the steak bites from the pan immediately.
- If necessary, add another splash of oil to the same pan and fry the broccoli and carrot first for 2 minutes.
- Add the pepper and sugar snaps and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes more. The vegetables can stay crisp.
- Add the garlic and ginger and fry for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the sauce and let it bubble for about a minute, until glossy and slightly syrupy.
- Add the noodles and toss everything together well.
- Return the steak bites to the pan right at the end and toss them through the hot noodles and sauce for 30-60 seconds.
- Serve with spring onion and sesame seeds.
- Just before serving, optionally squeeze some fresh lime over the dish.
- For a fuller sauce, optionally stir 1 heaped teaspoon of peanut butter into the sauce at the end.
