Beef Chow Fun
Beef Chow Fun features wide rice noodles stir-fried with thinly sliced flank steak, garlic, ginger, and mung bean sprouts. The beef is marinated briefly with cornstarch and soy sauce, then seared quickly to maintain tenderness. The sauce is balanced with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of sugar. Tossing all together at medium heat preserves the noodles' texture and integrates flavors, while green onions add a fresh finish.
