Ingredients 

For the Beef

  • 8 oz flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1.5 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine optional
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

For the Noodles & Sauce

  • 1 pound fresh wide rice noodles (ho fun) peeled apart
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • Dash of white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the Stir-Fry

  • Vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ small onion sliced into thin wedges
  • 3 scallions cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1.5 cups bean sprouts
  • Pinch of salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine, vegetable oil, corn starch, and baking soda. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • For the sauce, mix soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, corn starch, white pepper, and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the fresh rice noodles, peel apart the noodles and separate gently. If stiff, microwave for 20-30 seconds to loosen.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or pan over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 45 seconds to 1 min until just browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon oil. Stir-fry garlic and onion for 20 seconds until fragrant. Add noodles, then pour the sauce over. Toss gently to coat until noodles completely.
  • Return the beef to the wok. Add scallions, bean sprouts, and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until everything is well mixed and noodles have softened. Avoid over-stirring to prevent breaking the noodles. Transfer to a plate and serve hot!
