Ingredients
- 200 g/7 oz dry rice noodles
- 6 scallions
- 100 g/3.5 oz shiitakes thinly sliced
- 2 tsp grated ginger
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- peanut oil
Beef Marinade
- 250 g/9 oz beef flank steak, skirt steak, sirloin or rump steak
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Wok Sauce
- 5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp white pepper
Instructions
- Cut the steak in really thin slices across the grain. Combine with peanut oil, cornstarch and soy sauce. Set aside and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the rice noodles according the package directions.
- Thinly slice the shiitakes, grate the ginger and mince the garlic. Cut the scallions into 5 cm/2-inch pieces.
- Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl.
- Heat 3 tbsp peanut oil in a wok over high heat until smoking-hot and oil is shimmering. Add the beef, cook undisturbed until the beef begins to sear, about 30 seconds. Then stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the beef is lightly browned but not cooked through. Transfer the beef and any juices in the wok to a plate.
- Again, heat 3 tbsp peanut oil over high heat, add shiitakes. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden. Add garlic and ginger, stir for 1 minute.
- Return the beef to the wok, add the sauce and the scallions, stir-fry for 1 minute more. Add the rice noddles and stir to coat evenly. Serve!
