Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
