👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside. Toss lightly with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, and hoisin sauce (if using). Set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry—this will help thicken your sauce later.
