Ingredients
- 250 grams Flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 450 grams Fresh wide rice noodles (Ho Fun)
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 3 stalks Green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine(optional)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
Instructions
- 1
Marinate the beef with 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce, cornstarch, and a splash of oil for 15 minutes.
- 2
If using fresh noodles, gently separate them to ensure they don't stick together during frying.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Sear the beef until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- 4
Wipe the wok and heat the remaining oil until shimmering. Add ginger and the white parts of the green onions.
- 5
Add the rice noodles to the wok. Spread them out and let them sear for 1-2 minutes without moving to get a slight char.
- 6
Add the dark soy sauce, remaining light soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly without breaking them.
- 7
Return the beef to the wok along with the bean sprouts and the rest of the green onions.
- 8
Stir-fry on high heat for another 1-2 minutes until the sprouts are slightly wilted and everything is well combined.
- 9
Serve immediately while hot.
