4. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and fry the beef strips in a wok at a high heat for a couple of minutes until nicely seared but still pink, remove from the work and set aside.
5. Add another drizzle of sesame oil to the wok if needed and fry the red onion, broccoli and red chilli for a few minutes until softened.
6. Return the beef strips and reserved marinade and toss to ensure an even covering. If needed add a further 1-2 tbsp of oyster sauce.
7. Add noodles, toss again and serve.
8. Finish with a scattering of finely chopped spring onion.
