Beef Chow Fun (Beef Ho Fun)

Step 1

Marinate your beef. In a small mixing bowl, mix the baking soda cornstarch, Shaoxing cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, water and sugar and mix until combined. Slice your beef into 1/4 or 1/8 inch slices across the grain and marinate the beef for about 30 min-1 hour. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the noodles. Separate the fresh noodles by hand so they are not sticking together. If the noodles are stiff and are not separating easily, you can steam them or blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds to loosen. Drain and rinse with cold water immediately. If you are using dried rice noodles, follow the instructions on the packaging.

Step 3

Chow fun sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and water. Set aside.

Step 4

Cook the beef. In a wok or large skillet, heat on high heat until hot. Then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to coat the wok for about 30 seconds. Add the beef and sear about 30 seconds on each side or until golden brown. The meat will be slightly pink on the inside since it will be cooked again. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

Saute aromatics. Clean your wok before using. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium high heat and cook the sliced yellow onion and garlic until fragrant and lightly browned about 1 minute.

Step 6

Saute noodles. Then, add 1 tablespoon of oil and the rice noodles and gently saute for about 30 seconds until browned. If the noodles begin to stick add 1 tablespoon of water.

Step 7

Add the sauce and vegetables. Add the chow fun sauce and gently toss the noodles until the noodles are well coated. Then add the green onion, and bean sprouts and toss until combined.

Step 8

Add the beef. Lastly, add the beef and sesame oil and toss until combined about 30 seconds. Serve and enjoy!
