Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, peanut oil, and baking soda. Add sliced beef and marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Transfer beef to a plate.
In the same wok, heat the remaining peanut oil. Add mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper, stir-frying for about 2 minutes.
Mix in snow peas, bean sprouts, seared beef, and noodles. Pour sauce over the mixture, tossing to combine and cook for one more minute.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with Sriracha and your choice of side.
