Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound wide rice noodles (hor fun)
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for cooking
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. If using fresh noodles, gently separate them.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and beef broth or water for the sauce.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
  5. Add a little more oil to the wok if needed. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Add the prepared rice noodles to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  7. Add the bean sprouts and green onions to the wok. Stir-fry for another minute.
  8. Return the cooked beef to the wok.
  9. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles, beef, and vegetables. Toss everything together gently until well combined and heated through.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh or refrigerated wide rice noodles.
  • Marinating the beef helps tenderize it and adds flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of dark soy sauce to achieve your desired color.
  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions if you like.
