Ingredients
8 ounces Flank Steak (thinly sliced)1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1⁄4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce (plus 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil (plus 3 tablespoons)
1 pound Ho Fun Noodles
4 whole Green Onions (cut into 1-inch lengths)
3 whole Ginger Slices
2 tablespoons Rice Wine
1⁄2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
2 teaspoons Dark Soy Sauce
1⁄8 teaspoon Sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon White Pepper
dash Salt
6 ounces Bean Sprouts
Directions
- Add the beef into a medium bowl with baking soda, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon oil. Stir to coat the meat well. Set aside to marinate for 1 hour.
- Place the noodles in a microwave and warm up for one minute. Try to separate the noodles, if they are still stiff warm for additional 30 seconds and then separate the noodles into strips.
- Heat your wok over high heat until smoking, and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to coat the wok. Add the beef and sear until browned. As long as your wok is hot enough, the meat shouldn't stick. Set aside. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons more vegetable oil to the wok. Add the ginger to infuse the oil with its rich flavor for about 15 seconds. Add the green onions.
- Spread the noodles evenly in the wok and stir-fry on high for about 15 seconds. Add the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok.
- Next, add the sesame oil, dark soy, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sugar and the seared beef. Stir-fry, making sure your metal wok spatula scrapes the bottom of the wok. Lift the noodles in an upward motion to mix well and coat them evenly with the sauce.
- Add a bit of salt and white pepper to taste (taste the noodles before adding salt). Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry until they are just tender. Serve!
