Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 200g fresh or dried flat wide rice noodles
Beef
- 250g thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)
- 1 tsp cornstarch (for marinade)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for marinade)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp water or broth
Aromatics & Others
- 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles: If using dried flat rice noodles, soak them in warm water for 20-30 minutes until soft but still slightly firm; if using fresh noodles, gently separate them before cooking.
- Marinate the beef: Thinly slice beef against the grain and marinate with a splash of soy sauce, cornstarch, and a little vegetable oil to ensure tenderness during cooking.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water or broth to create a balanced umami-rich sauce that will coat the noodles and beef.
- Stir-fry aromatics and beef: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat, sauté minced garlic and ginger until aromatic, then add the marinated beef and cook until just browned.
- Add noodles and sauce: Toss soaked noodles into the pan with beef, pour in the sauce mixture, and stir-fry quickly to heat everything through and evenly coat with sauce.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the dish, give everything one last toss, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use high heat for stir-frying to achieve quick cooking and develop flavors.
- Cook beef in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring even searing.
- Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Prepare all ingredients before cooking to maintain smooth workflow and timing.
- Adjust seasoning after cooking by adding more soy or oyster sauce if desired.
