Ingredients:

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 12 oz chow mein noodles

Instructions:

  1. Prepare mise en place: Whisk the marinade and sauce ingredients in separate bowls. Slice the beef. Boil the chow mein noodles according to package instructions, drain, and toss with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat oil in a wok until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 60 seconds. Toss rapidly for 1 more minute, then remove beef from the pan and set aside.
  3. Return the seared beef and cooked noodles to the wok. Pour the beef chow mein sauce evenly over the mixture and toss on high heat for 2 minutes until the sauce forms a glossy glaze. Remove from heat.
