Preparation:
Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Serving: 5
Ingredients:
● 8 oz (227 g) flank steak (or skirt steak) , thinly sliced against the grain
● 8 oz (227 g) fresh Hong Kong pan fry noodles (or other type of thin noodles) (Footnote 1)
Meat & Marinade
● 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
● 2 teaspoons cornstarch
● 1/4 teaspoon salt
Sauce
● 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium beef broth
● 2 tablespoons soy sauce (*Footnote 2)
● 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
● 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
● 2 tablespoons cornstarch
● 1 teaspoon sugar
● 1/4 teaspoon Chinkiang vinegar
● 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Stir-Fry
● 4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
● 4 heads baby bok choy, quartered
● 4 cloves garlic, minced
● 1 " (2.5 cm) ginger, minced
● 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
● 1/2 carrot, sliced into strips
Instructions:
- Combine the beef and the marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Toss with your hands to coat the beef evenly and let marinate while preparing other ingredients.
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and stir to mix thoroughly.
- Prepare the noodles according to package directions (*Footnote 3). Drain and set aside in a colander to dry.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan (nonstick or carbon steel) with 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium-high heat until hot. Spread the noodles into a patty shape (*Footnote 4). Cook without flipping until the bottoms turn golden. Turn the noodles to fry the other side until golden. Drizzle in a bit more oil to help with the frying, if needed. Once done, transfer the noodles to a big serving plate.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into the same pan. Add the beef and spread it out in a single layer using a pair of tongs or chopsticks. Let cook undisturbed for 30 seconds or so, or until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip to cook the other side until browned. Stir a few times until the beef is cooked (it’s OK if there’s a hint of pink inside), transfer to a big plate, and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the onion and carrots. Quickly stir a few times to mix well. Add the ginger and garlic. Stir and cook for 30 seconds to release the fragrance.
- Add the bok choy. Cook and stir for another minute, until the veggies start to soften.
- Stir the sauce thoroughly to dissolve the cornstarch completely and pour the sauce into the pan. Stir and cook to bring the sauce to a boil, and cook until it starts to thicken.
- Add the cooked beef back into the pan. Stir to mix everything well. Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, pour everything over the fried noodles. (*Footnote 5)
- Serve immediately as a main dish.
