Ingredients

  • 8 oz dried wide rice noodles
  • 12 oz ribeye or strip, or flank steak
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine Chinese rice wine, divided
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoon dark sesame oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon black bean garlic sauce
  • 3 tablespoon peanut oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup small broccoli florets
  • 3 scallions cut into 1-inch slivers, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the noodles in a large pot and cover them with room-temperature tap water. Allow them to rest for 1 to 2 hours. They will become soft but still have a little resistance.
  2. Slice the steak into ¼-inch strips. Place in a medium-sized bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the rice wine, the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and brown sugar, until starch and sugar are dissolved.
  4. Pour over the steak and turn to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes to 2 hours.
  5. Drain the noodles and toss with the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  6. Next, make a sauce by whisking together the oyster sauce, black bean sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of rice wine in a small bowl. Set aside.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large wok (or skillet) over high heat.
  8. Add the steak and the marinade. Cook until starting to brown, about 2 - 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry until the steak is just no longer pink, about another 1 -2 minutes more. Transfer the mixture to a platter.
  9. Return the wok to high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons the oil to the wok. Add the onion and cook, without stirring, until browned on the edges, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and scallions and stir-fry until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  10. Add the rice noodles and steak mixture and stir-fry until the noodles are hot, about another 1 - 2 minutes.
  11. Add the sauce mixture and stir until the noodles are coated.
  12. Garnish with extra scallion slices and toasted sesame seeds. Serve at once.
