Instructions:
BEEF
Marinade shaved beef slices with Soy Sauce (1 tsp), Sweet Soy Sauce (1 tsp) and Corn Starch (1 tsp).
Add 1 tsp of oil to the beef to lock in flavor and keep the beef moist. Then leave it aside for a few minutes while preparing other ingredients.
RICE NOODLES
Soak flat rice noodles (200g) in boiling water for a few minutes as per the package instructions.
Then drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water.
Add 1 tbsp of oil to the noodles so they do not stick together.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
Slice one onion (100g)
Chop some scallions (50g) and seperate white and green parts
Mince 4 cloves of garlic
Beat 2 eggs
If you do not have grated ginger, grade some ginger (1 tsp)
Weigh 100g of bean sprouts
STIR FRY SAUCE
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce (1 tbsp), sweet soy sauce (1 tbsp), oyster sauce (1 tbsp) and white pepper (1/2 tsp)
stir it well and leave it aside.
STIR FRY PROCESS (on high heat)
1. Heat a pan or wok over high heat, then add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
2. Once the oil is very hot, add the beef and spread it out in the pan. Let it sear for 1 minute without stirring, then flip the slices and stir-fry for another minute.
3. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
4. In the same pan, add the minced garlic (4 cloves) and grated ginger (1 teaspoon). Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the white parts of the scallions and sauté for another 30 seconds, followed by the onions, continuing to cook for an additional 30 seconds.
6. Remove the garlic, ginger, scallions, and onions from the pan and set them aside with the beef.
7. In the same pan, pour in the beaten eggs (2 medium) and scramble for about 1 minute, or until fully cooked. Remove the eggs and set them aside with the other ingredients.
8. Add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the pan, then toss in the noodles. Spread the noodles in the wok and let it sear for 1 minute without touching; this creates some charring on the noodles. Add half of the stir-fry sauce and fry the noodles over high heat for another 1 minute, stirring constantly.
9. Return the scrambled eggs, garlic, ginger, scallions, onions, and beef to the pan. Pour in the remaining stir-fry sauce and stir-fry everything on high heat for 1 minute.
10. Add the bean sprouts (100g) and the green parts of the scallions. Stir for 30 seconds, then remove the pan from the heat.
And you’re done! Serve hot and enjoy!
