If using dried noodles, place a pot of boiling water on a high heat and bring to a boil. Cook or soak for the time on the packaging, usually around 4 minutes. Strain, rinse with cold water and set aside. This is so they don't continue to cook and become mushy. Skip step 2 if using fresh noodle.

Once the oil is sizzling, add the beef and stir fry for 3 - 4 minutes or until cooking through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef and set it aside on a plate.
If necessary add more oil then add in the red bell peppers and onions then stir fry for 2 minutes. Add in the ginger and garlic then continue to stir fry for 1 minute.
