Beef Chow Fun
Description
Beef Chow Fun highlights tender slices of flank steak cooked with wide rice noodles soaked to the right softness. The beef is first marinated to enhance its flavor and texture before being seared individually for a quick, even cook. Aromatics like garlic and ginger cook briefly to release their fragrance without burning. The addition of Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil creates a savory sauce that complements the mild earthiness of the noodles. Mung bean sprouts add a subtle crunch, and green onions provide a bright contrast when sprinkled on top. This stir-fry is cooked over high heat initially, then reduced to maintain balance and prevent overcooking the noodles and vegetables. This dish works well as a filling lunch or dinner and can be garnished with extra green onions if desired.
