Ingredients

Beef Marinade

8 oz flank steak sliced 1/8 inch thick, bite sized pieces
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
½ teaspoon dark soy sauce
¼ teaspoon white pepper

Chow Fun Sauce

2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
¼ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar

Stir Fry

3 cloves garlic minced
3 thin slices of ginger
½ yellow onion sliced
12 oz fresh wide rice noodles or 7 oz of dry noodles
4 stalks green onion chopped into 1-2 inch pieces whites and greens separated
1 cup bean sprouts washed and dried
½ tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

Marinate your beef. Slice the flank steak into 1/8-inch-thick bite-sized pieces against the grain. In a small mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, cornstarch, Shaoxing cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper with the beef until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. Set aside.
Prepare the noodles. Separate the fresh noodles by hand. If you are using dried rice noodles, follow the instructions on the packaging. Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the noodles, then toss to coat and prevent sticking.
Mix the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, and water until combined.
Cook the beef. Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a wok or large skillet on high heat until hot. Add the beef and sear about 1 minute on each side. Remove and set aside.
Sauté aromatics. In the same wok, heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil on medium-high heat. Then add the garlic, ginger, onion, and the white parts of the green onion, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add noodles. Then, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and the rice noodles. Toss to combine, then lay the noodles flat to crisp up for about 1-2 minutes, until browned.
Combine. Add the sauce and toss the noodles for 1-2 minutes, or until well coated. Then add the green onion, bean sprouts, and sesame oil and toss until combined and softened.
Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!
