Instructions

Marinate the beef

  1. In a medium bowl, mix oyster sauce, soy sauces, sugar, and garlic powder. Coat the beef with baking soda and ½ tbsp of the sauce. Let it sit for 15 minutes while prepping the rest. Reserve the remaining marinade.

Prep the Noodles

  1. Fresh noodles: Cut into 1-inch wide strips. Blanch for 30 seconds if stiff, then drain and shock in ice water.Dried noodles: Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water

Sear the Beef

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick pan or wok over medium-high. Sear the beef for 1–2 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.

Stir Fry Veggies

  1. Add the remaining oil. Cook the onion and Chinese broccoli stems for 2 minutes. Add the leaves and cook 4–5 minutes more, until softened.

Add Noodles + Sauce

  1. Gently separate noodles and toss with the remaining marinade. Add a splash of water or oil if they start to dry out.
  2. Finish. Return the beef to the pan. Toss in bean sprouts and mix everything together until heated through.
  3. Garnish & Serve. Top with scallions and a drizzle of sriracha if you like heat. Serve immediately!

Notes

  • If your beef is tough, make sure you’re slicing against the grain and don’t skip the baking soda—it tenderizes like a dream.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles. Add them last and toss gently so they don’t break apart.
