    • In the same skillet, add another splash of oil.

    • Stir-fry shrimp and carrots for 3–4 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and carrots are tender-crisp.

  4. Combine Ingredients

    • Return steak to the skillet. Add garlic, noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, and brown sugar.

    • Toss everything together 2–3 minutes until glossy and hot.

  5. Garnish & Serve

    • Top with green onions and chili flakes if desired.

    • Serve immediately while hot.
