Ingredients
- 19 oz Fresh rice noodles or see Notes below if using dried rice noodles
- ½ lb flank steak or see Notes below for beef substitutes
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- 4 scallions chopped into 1 inch segments with green and white parts separated
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts or soy bean sprouts, washed and strained
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Beef Marinade
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch or potato starch
- ½ tablespoon Regular soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry wine or chicken/beef broth
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda do not skip!
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Noodle Sauce
- 1.5 tablespoon Regular soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian stir fry sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon white granulated sugar
Instructions
- Thinly slice flank steak against the grain on an angle into ¼-inch-thick pieces and transfer beef slices to a large bowl. Add marinade ingredients to the beef and mix well. Marinate for 15 minutes. (Tip: To thinly slice beef, freeze flank steak uncovered for 45-60 minutes until the exterior is hard and use a sharp knife).
- Then in a small bowl, combine noodle sauce ingredients as listed and set aside.
- If needed, microwave fresh rice noodles for 2-3 times at 60 second intervals until soft and pliable. Gently separate them by hand after they've cooled down a bit.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Fry marinated beef in a single layer until cooked and slightly browned on edges. Remove and set aside.
- With the residual oil in the pan, fry scallion whites only and garlic for 10 seconds.
- Add remaining oil and toss in rice noodles with noodle sauce. Gently toss the noodles with the sauce using two spatulas lifting from the bottom.
- Toss back in cooked beef, bean sprouts, and scallion greens. Gently toss until everything is mixed. Remove off heat. Enjoy!
