Slice the lean beef sirloin thinly against the grain. Set aside in a bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch. Pour this marinade over the beef, coating it well, and let sit while preparing the vegetables.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and ginger.
Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper and carrot into thin strips, and trim sugar snap peas if needed.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, swirl to coat, then add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles and beef back to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle over the stir fry just before serving.
Serve the stir fry noodles hot, ensuring an even distribution of beef and vegetables for each portion.
