Instructions
- Marinate the Beef – Mix beef with Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and salt. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, and white pepper. Set aside.
- Fry the Noodles – Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, spread noodles evenly, and fry until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Sear the Beef – In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil, cook beef for 1-2 minutes per side, then remove.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables – Add 1 tbsp oil, stir-fry onions and carrots for 2 minutes, then add garlic, ginger, and bok choy. Cook until slightly wilted.
- Add Sauce and Beef – Pour in sauce, let it thicken, then add the beef back. Stir to combine.
- Assemble and Serve – Place crispy noodles on a plate, pour the beef and sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, fry the noodles without stirring for a few minutes per side.
- Use fresh Hong Kong-style noodles for the best texture.
- Adjust the sauce thickness by adding more or less cornstarch.
