- 2 green peppers, deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- 3 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
- 2 teaspoons red chilli, finely chopped
Seasoning and Sauces:

- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 tablespoons water

Instructions
- Immerse long, thin noodles in rapidly boiling water, adhering to package guidelines for precise cooking time. Simultaneously, transform beef into delicate, uniform strips.

- Position large wok over intense heat, introducing sunflower oil until shimmering and extremely hot.

- Within the same sizzling pan, rapidly sauté peppers and chilli for two minutes, releasing their vibrant essence.
- Introduce garlic, ginger, and spring onions, stirring quickly to prevent burning and maximize aromatic potential.
- Stream prepared sauce into pan, allowing liquid to transform into glossy, rich coating.

- Serve immediately while piping hot, presenting a visually appealing and tantalizing stir fry.
Notes
- Quick Tip: Always slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Cornflour Magic: Coating steak with cornflour helps create a crispy exterior and prevents meat from becoming tough during high-heat cooking.
- Batch Cooking Wisdom: Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing steak to ensure proper browning and prevent steaming instead of sizzling.
- Sauce Preparation: Mix sauce ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process and prevent last-minute scrambling.
- Vegetable Timing: Add harder vegetables like peppers first, then softer ingredients like garlic and spring onions to maintain perfect texture and prevent burning.
- Temperature Control: Use high heat for searing steak and quick vegetable stir-frying to lock in flavors and maintain a delightful crunch.
