Instructions
The Beef
- If you are using dried rice noodles, Soak them first in warm water for 30 mins before preparing the beef. *Set a 30 minute timer so you don't forget about them as you are preparing the rest of the ingredients*
- Slice your beef thinly, (was I used 8 oz Flank Steak). If you freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing, it will be easier to make thinner cuts. Marinate the beef with ½ tsp Baking Soda, ¼ tsp White Pepper,1 tsp Sugar, 1 tbsp Cornstarch, ½ tbsp Oyster Sauce, 1 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tsp Seasoning Sauce, 1 tsp Cooking wine, ½ tsp Dark Soy Sauce, and 1 tbsp Oil
The Veggies
- Prepare your veggies. You will need 1 slice of Ginger, 1 small Onion sliced, 3 stalks of Green Onions cut into 1" segments with the whites separated from the greens, and 1 cup washed Bean Sprouts
The Noodles
- If you are using dried rice noodles, Soak them first in warm water for 30 mins. Once your 30 Minute timer is up, flash cook the noodles for 30 seconds in boiling hot water, remove and strain, and rinse off with cold water. Work through the noodles while rinsing in cold water to make sure they do not clump together until fully cooled down. Set aside noodles and lightly coat noodles in some oil.
- If you are using fresh noodles, take out a handful of noodles from the pack and push on the noodles in a circular motion or back and forth to loosen and separate the noodles. Continue until the entire package has been mostly separated.
- Into a bowl or mixing cup combine the following to make the noodle sauce :1.5 tbsp Seasoning Sauce, 1 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce,1 tsp Sesame Oil, and¾ tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
The Cooking process
- Gather all your prepared ingredients before you start cooking and bring them to your cooking station. You will need your fresh rice noodles, or dried rice noodles (soaked and flash cooked), marinated beef, the veggies, and cooking oil.
- Turn your Wok or Pan to high heat. If you are using a Wok, once it starts smoking, let it smoke even more before adding in 1 tbsp oil. If you are using a pan, let it heat up on high heat for about 2-3 minutes on high before adding oil.
- Wait another minute for the oil to heat up before adding in your marinated beef. Cook and brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes until almost fully cooked.
- Remove the beef and set aside for now.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil, wait a minute for the oil to heat up then add the whites of the green onions, white onion and the ginger.
- Once aromatic, About 1 minute , Add the noodles and carefully spread the noodles out in the pan without mixing. Let the noodles cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown up.
- Flip the noodles over once, and add the green parts of the green onions and the bean sprouts. Pour over the noodle sauce and shake the pan to combine.
- Drizzle the cooking wine around the edges of the pan, and after another 1-2 mins add your cooked beef back in and give one final mix or shake. Cook another minute and you're done!
- Time to enjoy your better than take out, beef chow fun!
