beef chow fun

Beef chow fun is a favorite Cantonese dish (popular at dim sum), made from stir-frying beef, wide rice noodles, scallions, ginger, bean sprouts and dark soy.

Beef Chow Fun

flank steak ((225

baking soda ((optional))

cornstarch

soy sauce

vegetable oil

fresh wide rice noodles

scallions

ginger

Shaoxing wine

sesame oil

sugar

salt and white pepper ((to taste))

mung bean sprouts

Combine the beef and marinade ingredients and marinate for about 1 hour.

Some fresh rice noodles come as large sheets, while others are already cut. If you have the sheets, slice the rice noodles so they&#x27;re about 1 inch wide. If the noodles are very stiff and stuck together, bring a wok full of water to a boil, and add the noodles. Blanch them for 30 seconds to loosen. Transfer to an ice bath and drain thoroughly.

Heat your wok over high heat until smoking, and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to coat the wok. Add the beef and sear until browned. As long as your wok is hot enough, the meat shouldn&#x27;t stick. Set aside. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons more vegetable oil to the wok. Add the ginger to infuse the oil with its rich flavor for about 15 seconds. Add the scallions.

Spread the noodles evenly in the wok and stir-fry on high for about 15 seconds. Add the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok.

Next, add the sesame oil, soy sauces, pinch of sugar and the seared beef. Stir-fry, making sure your metal wok spatula scrapes the bottom of the wok. Lift the noodles in an upward motion to mix well and coat them evenly with the sauce.

Add a bit of salt and white pepper to taste (taste the noodles before adding salt). Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry until they are just tender. Serve!

Restaurant-style Beef Chow Fun

lb flat rice noodles (fresh

oz beef sirloin

Tbsp cooking oil

oz beansprouts

green onion

Tbsp oyster sauce

Tbsp dark soy sauce

tsp fine sugar

tsp white pepper powder

tsp dark soy sauce

tsp corn starch

I found it helpful to put the sirloin in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting. This helps me to cut it thinner. Make sure you cut the meat across the grain so you get a tender meat. Put all ingredients for marinating the beef and let it marinade for 30 minutes while you are preparing other things

If using dried rice noodles, soak in water for at least 2 hours. If you are using fresh sheets of rice noodles, they come in one large sheet or pre-cut. If you are using one large sheet like me, cut into 1-2 inch wide (I like it 2-inch wide, but it's up to you)

Prepare beef and rice noodles:

Separate the white and green parts of the green onions. Cut into a 3-inch length. Halve the white part of the onion. Set aside

Peel and finely chop the ginger

Prepare aromatics:

Place all the ingredients for seasonings in a bowl and stir to mix. Set aside

Prepare seasonings:

Preheat the skillet/wok over high heat until really hot. You can start seeing smoke rising from the wok. Add in about 2 Tbsp of oil, swirl it quickly to cover the base and add the beef slices. Don't stir and let them cook for about 1 minute and then a quick stir to separate them and dish out and set aside. Do not overcook the beef

Scrap any crust off the skillet/wok, if any. Heat the skillet back until it's stonking hot and smoking again, add another 1 Tbsp of oil (if needed) and add the ginger and white part of green onions, stir fry&nbsp;for about 30 seconds. Add the rice noodles, spreading it across the skillet/work and stir fry quickly for about 20-30 seconds, it might be longer for dried noodles. The noodles will continue to get soften. Don't over stir the noodles or they will break apart and turn choppy. Pour in the seasonings and give it a stir and cook for another 30 seconds&nbsp;

Add the beef slices back and stir fry again for another 10 seconds. Add the bean sprouts&nbsp;and green part of green onions. Stir to mix briefly. Stir to mix everything. Dish out into a serving platter and serve immediately

A classic Cantonese Beef Chow Fun Noodles recipe (aka Gon Chow Ngo Ho) made with fresh ho fun rice noodles and tender flavorful beef slices! Instructions on how to use dried rice noodles to mak are also included.

Beef Chow Fun (干炒牛河)

300 g flank steak ((or any type of steak, cut thinly against the grain))

white onion

750 g fresh sa ho fun noodles ((1 package))

bean sprouts ((approx. 1 ½ cups))

shaoxing cooking wine ((or dry sherry))

sesame oil ((optional))

cornstarch ((optional))

Wash the bean sprouts and set aside

Cut 1/3 of a white onion into slices and set aside

Wash the green onions and cut off the root ends. Cut the green onions into 2-inch segments. For the thicker parts of the green onions (the white parts) cut those in half lengthwise as well so they are easier to cook and not chunky. Set aside

Slice the beef against the grain, and place it in a bowl with the marinating sauce. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Preparation

Place the fresh noodles on a plate and microwave it for 1-2 minutes in 30-40 second intervals. At the 1 minute mark, try to loosen up the noodles with your hands. The noodles on the outer edge of the plate usually will soften up first. Loosen the soft ones first, and then put them in the middle of the plate so the non-softened ones can be on the outer edge of the plate to have a chance to get soft.

Once the noodles are a little soft and separated, set them aside to cool completely before stir-frying.

(If You Are Using Dried Rice Noodles) Soak the dried wide rice noodles in hot water for 6-8 minutes until they are pliable and can be easily bent, then drain the water and set it aside.

Prepare and Soften the Noodles

In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.(If You Are Using Dried Rice Noodles) - Add 1/4 cup of water to the sauce mix.

Making the Sauce

Set the stove to high heat and add a bit of oil to a non-stick frying pan or well-seasoned wok.

Once the pan is hot, add in the marinated beef and cook it for about 1-2 minute (No more than 2 minutes, you want the beef to be medium rare). Remove the beef from the pan and set aside for later

Clean out the frying pan/wok and add in a bit of oil. Once the oil is hot add in the white onion and cook for about 1 minute.

Then add in the noodles and the sauce mix at the same time and stir the noodles with the sauce. Use the sauce to soften up the noodles more, and keep moving the noodles around so that it doesn&#39;t stick to the pan. Cook it for about 1-2 minutes or until it looks soft.

Throw in the bean sprouts and green onions and the cooked beef and quickly toss it into the noodles and turn off the heat.

Continue to toss everything together and let the bean sprouts and green onions cook with the residual heat from the pan

Remove from pan and enjoy! :)
