Beef Chow Fun

1 pound flank steak, cut into thin strips

For the beef marinade:

½ teaspoon baking soda

1½ tablespoons light soy sauce

1 teaspoon dark soy sauce

1 teaspoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Toss the beef with all of the marinade ingredients and set aside. Prepare the rest of the ingredients.

For the sauce:

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

¾ tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Combine all ingredients together and set aside.

For the noodles and vegetables:

3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil

1 yellow onion, julienne

1 bunch Chinese broccoli, sliced thin

8 scallions, sliced thin

3 garlic cloves, chopped fine

1 cup bean sprouts

16 ounces fresh wide rice noodles

Heat a wok to high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil and sear the beef for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then transfer to a dish and set aside. Do not wipe out the pan.

Heat the wok again and add 1 tablespoon of the oil, stir fry the onions and Chinese broccoli for 1 minute. Add the scallions, garlic and bean sprouts, cook for 1 minute then pour onto the dish with the meat and set aside. Heat the wok again and add the remaining oil. Stir fry the rice noodles for 1 minute. Pour ⅓ of the sauce around the noodles beginning at the top of the pan in a circular motion. Add the beef and stir-fried vegetables back into the wok. As it heats slowly, add the rest of the sauce into the wok, beginning again at the top of the pan and adding the sauce in a circular motion. Heat through completely and serve.
