Ingredients

  • 8 oz (225 g) beef tenderloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh Hong Kong pan fry noodles (or other type of thin noodles) (see Footnote 1)

Meat & Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Sauce

  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (see Footnote 2)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinkiang vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Stir-Fry

  • 4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
  • 4 heads baby bok choy, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch (2.5 cm) ginger, minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/2 carrot, sliced into strips

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the beef tenderloin slices with the rice wine vinegar. Mix thoroughly to ensure all slices are well-coated. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, sugar, Chinkiang vinegar, and white pepper. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Cook the Hong Kong pan fry noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the baby bok choy, garlic, ginger, onion, and carrot.   Stir-fry the beef for 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness and develops a beautiful sear on the outside. Ensure the beef is cooked through but remains tender.
  5. Cook the Beef: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until it is browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine and Serve: Return the vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add the cooked noodles and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Conclusion

Enjoy this delightful dish of sizzling beef pan-fried noodles that brings a burst of flavors with every bite. This culinary creation is designed to captivate both solo diners and party-goers alike. Each bite is a testament to your cooking prowess, ensuring a memorable dining experience for all. Serve it hot and relish the taste of homemade Asian cuisine.
