Ingredients

Beef Marinade

  • 1 pound flank steak or skirt steak (454g)
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cooking wine Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Rice Noodles

  • 10 oz fat rice noodles (280g dried noodles*)
  • water for boiling or soaking
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for tossing to prevent sticking

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce low-sodium recommended
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (This gives a darker brown color, but you can substitute regular soy sauce.)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking wine Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Stir-fry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic I used 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 7-8 green onions cut into 1.5-inch long pieces
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional

Instructions

  • Marinate the beef: Cut the flank steak against the grain into 1/8-inch thin slices and transfer to a medium bowl. Mix together cornstarch, cooking wine and soy sauce and add to the bowl. Toss until the beef is coated evenly with a thin layer of the marinade. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Soften the noodles: Meanwhile, boil or soak the noodles to al dente according to package instructions. Then drain the noodles and rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process. Toss with 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent them from sticking.
  • Make the sauce: Whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl until completely combined. Set aside.
  • Cook the beef: Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Sauté the beef on high heat until it’s cooked through.
  • Stir-fry vegetables: Add bean sprouts and green onions and sauté for about 1 minute.
  • Put it all together: Add in noodles and sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 1-2 minutes and serve.
