Serves 4
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef: Toss the sliced beef with 1 tbsp light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prep the Noodles: Gently separate the fresh rice noodles by hand so they don't stick together in the wok. If they are cold and stiff, microwave them for 30 seconds to soften.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tbsp light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar.

  4. 4

    Sear the Beef: Heat a wok over very high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Sear the beef quickly for 1-2 minutes until browned on the outside but still tender. Remove from the wok.

  5. 5

    Stir-Fry Noodles: Wipe the wok clean, add 2 tbsp of oil, and heat until smoking. Add the noodles. Let them sit untouched for 30 seconds to get a slight char, then toss.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish: Add the bean sprouts, scallions, cooked beef, and pour the sauce over everything. Toss vigorously for 1-2 minutes over high heat until the noodles are evenly colored, the sprouts are tender-crisp, and the dish has a smoky aroma (wok hei).
