Equipment

Ingredients

Noodles and Beef

  • 6 oz beef flank or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp shaoxing wine
  • ½ tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp neutral oil
  • ½ small onion thinly sliced
  • 1- inch piece of ginger thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions white and green parts separated
  • ½ cup bean sprouts
  • 8 oz fresh rice noodles see note 1

Sauce

Instructions

  • In a bowl, marinate the sliced beef with soy sauce, shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and oil. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  • While the beef marinates, slice the ginger and onion. Separate scallions into white and green parts. Rinse the bean sprouts.
  • In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Heat a pan or wok over high heat. Add oil and sear the beef for about 2 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Re-oil the pan and sauté the ginger for 1 minute.
  • Add onions and white scallion parts. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Add the fresh rice noodles, marinated beef, and sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated.
  • Add in the scallion greens and bean sprouts, toss again, and cook for 1–2 more minutes.
  • Serve hot in a bowl. Garnish with extra scallions if desired.

Notes

(1) I buy fresh rice noodles (chow fun style!) from my local Asian grocer, but you can use dried rice noodles soaked in warm water for 40 minutes. I like to use the extra wide Sun Voi rice noodles.
