How To Prepare Beef Chow Fun ?

Preparation:   

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 10 mins

Serving: 4

Ingredients:

 Beef

• 1/2 lb flank seak cut into 1/4" strips
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp neutral oil

Sauce

• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp msg
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Noodles & Vegetables

• 4 scallions cut into 2" pieces
• 1 tbsp ginger chopped
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 12 oz rice noodles fresh or dehydrated; if dehydrated, make sure to rehydrate
• 1 cup bean sprouts

Instructions:

1. Slice beef into 1/4" strips and marinate for 15-20 minutes in baking soda, light soy sauce, white pepper, cornstarch, and neutral oil.
2. Cut scallions into 2" pieces, as well as 1 tbsp of ginger and 2 cloves of garlic and set aside with fresh bean sprouts.
3. Separate your fresh rice rolls into individual sheets as best as you can and cut to desired width. (I personally like them 1-1 1/2" wide strips.)

Note: If using precut noodles that are firm, blanch them in hot water for 30 seconds to loosen and then transfer to an ice bath until ready to cook. You can also use rehydrated dry rice noodles!

4. For your sauce, mix together light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, msg, and sesame oil and set aside.
5. Over high heat in 2 tbsp of neutral oil, sear beef for 2-3 minutes and remove.
6. Add additional oil if needed, and saute ginger and garlic for 30 seconds, then add your scallions and continue cooking for 2 minutes until scallions have a nice color.
7. Working quickly, add back your beef, separated rice noodles, and sauce. Mix together to incorporate, then add your fresh bean sprouts and give a final mix for 1 minute. Enjoy!
