Ingredients
10 ounces Flank Steak (thinly sliced)1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1⁄4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 1⁄2 tablespoon Water
2 teaspoons Oyster Sauce
2 teaspoons Rice Wine (plus 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce (plus 2 tablespoons)
12 ounces Ho Fun Noodles (fresh)
3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
4 whole Green Onions (cut into 1-inch lengths)
3 whole Ginger Slices
2 teaspoons Dark Soy Sauce
1⁄2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1⁄4 teaspoon Sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon White Pepper
dash Salt
6 ounces Bean Sprouts
Directions
- Combine the steak, water, baking soda, cornstarch, oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons rice wine, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice the ho fun so they're about 1-inch wide. Microwave for 30 seconds and separate the noodles. If using dried noodles use half the amount of noodles and soak in boiling water for 20 minutes then drain.
- Heat your wok over high heat until smoking, and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to coat the wok. Add the beef and sear until browned. 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 then add the green onions. Stir a few times then transfer out into the meat bowl.
- Spread the noodles evenly in the wok and stir-fry on high for about 15 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons rice wine around the perimeter of the wok. Next, add the 2 tablespoons soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir fry quickly.
- Add the seared beef, ginger, and green onions. 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. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry until they are just tender. Serve!
