PREP TIME

COOK TIME

15 minutes

SERVES

Ingredients

400g (14 oz) thinly sliced beef (e.g. sirloin, striploin, rib-eye, rib fillet, rump)

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, sliced

4 cm piece ginger, peeled and finely julienned

2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

400g (14 oz) cooked noodles (e.g. hokkien, egg noodles or udon noodles)

3 spring onions, finely sliced

Marinade:

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine

½ tsp baking soda

3 tsp corn flour (cornstarch)

Stir-fry sauce:

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup chicken stock

3 tbsp oyster sauce

3 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine

Steps

Combine the beef with the marinade ingredients and mix well to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce and mix well. Set aside for later.
Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry for about half a minute. Then add the beef and spread the strips out in the pan as much as possible. Allow the beef to sear for a minute before flipping. Stir-fry for another minute or until you’ve got some nice colour on the beef.
Add the cooked noodles and the stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry until well combined and the sauce is thick and glossy. Toss through the spring onions and serve.

Great recipe

I love your videos and watch them often. A couple months ago I wanted to learn how to cook Asian food. I think I am getting pretty good now largely with your help. I really liked this one. Thanks
