Instructions
Preparing the sauce
Step 1
Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the duck sauce, Huy Fong chili garlic sauce, and soy sauce. Adjust to taste if needed, aiming for a balance where the sauce is slightly more sweet than spicy.






Cooking the stir-fry
Step 2
Cook Noodles: Cook the stir-fry noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.




Step 3
Stir-Fry Vegetables and Steak: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped broccoli and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to become tender but still crisp. Add the chopped yellow bell pepper and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.











Step 4
Add Steak and Chicken: Add the steak strips to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the shredded sweet and spicy chicken and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.




Step 5
Season and Spice: Stir in the galangal and turmeric. Cook for another 1 minute to let the spices release their flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.










Step 6
Combine Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and mix well to combine with the other ingredients.



Step 7
Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fry mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 8
Finish and serve: Sprinkle the dried basil and mint over the stir-fry. Mix well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and serve immediately.(Don't add the galangal and tumeric to the garnish I stupidly added them together in the ingredients list and can't remove them from being grouped together)
