Beef Chow Fun features tender slices of beef and wide, chewy rice noodles stir-fried with bean sprouts and green onions in a savory sauce. It is a classic Cantonese dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh wide rice noodles
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Separate fresh wide rice noodles and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and white pepper. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add half of the beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove beef from wok and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Add bean sprouts and green onions to the wok, stir-fry for 1 minute.
  6. Add rice noodles to the wok, then pour in oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Toss gently to combine and coat the noodles evenly.
  7. Return cooked beef to the wok. Continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh wide rice noodles. If using dried noodles, cook according to package directions before stir-frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the wok when cooking the beef; cook in batches if necessary to ensure it browns properly.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your taste.
