Equipment

Ingredients

Beef

  • 6 oz thinly sliced beef see note 1
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp shaoxing wine can omit, but highly recommended
  • Pinch of salt

Vegetables

  • ½ onion thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions white and green parts separated
  • 6 oz lo mein noodles

Sauce

Instructions

  • Marinate the beef with cornstarch, shaoxing wine, and salt for 15 minutes.
  • While marinating, prep your onions and separate the scallion whites and greens.
  • Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Cook noodles 1 minute before al dente, then drain and set aside.
  • In a hot pan, heat oil and brown the marinated beef for 2 minutes, then remove.
  • Add onions and white scallions and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Add noodles, beef, and sauce to the pan and toss until everything is well-coated.
  • Add in the green parts of the scallions, toss again, and remove from heat.

Notes

(1) I like to use a shabu shabu flat iron cut, but any thinly sliced beef works. I like to use shaved beef as well!
