    3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

To Make The Stir Fry

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and the beef strips. Cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through. Remove from the pan.
    2 tablespoons oil
  • Add the remaining oil and the sliced onion and cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
    1 onion
  • Add the noodles, scallions, bean sprouts and stir fry sauce and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
    12 oz. wide rice noodles, 5 scallions, 3 cups bean sprouts
  • Add the beef strips and stir to combine. Cook until heated through and the sauce thickens slightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not use sesame oil for all the oil in the dish. Sesame oil is extremely strong flavored and will overpower the dish if you use it for everything.
  • Make sure you have everything ready to go before you start to stir fry the dish. It moves very quickly once you start to stir fry it.
  • Be careful not to over cook the noodles.
