Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz fresh Hong Kong-style egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 6 oz beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 6 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon oil (for stir-frying)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ onion, sliced
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- ½ cup napa cabbage, sliced
- ½ cup baby bok choy, sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced
- 4 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (for the sauce)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce (for the sauce)
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for the sauce)
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the fresh egg noodles and cook for 1 minute, just until they separate. Drain and rinse under cold water. This stops the cooking process and keeps them from becoming mushy.
- Crisp the Noodles: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the noodles, spreading them into a flat circle. Press gently with a spatula to form a crust. Let them fry undisturbed for 5–7 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Carefully flip (you can cut into halves to flip more easily) and cook the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove and place on a large serving plate.
- Marinate the Beef: While the noodles crisp, toss the beef slices with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to tenderize and soak in flavor.
- Stir-Fry the Meat and Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated beef until it’s about 80% cooked, then add the shrimp. Cook until both are just done, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add garlic and onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add all the vegetables and cook until just tender, about 3–4 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together. Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Add the beef and shrimp back in and stir everything together until coated in the glossy gravy. Let it simmer for another minute until the sauce thickens.
- Assemble: Spoon the hot stir-fry mixture over the crispy noodles. Serve immediately, ideally with chopsticks and a side of chili oil for those who love a bit of heat.
Notes
- Ensure to rinse the noodles well after boiling to avoid stickiness.
- Customize the vegetables based on your preference.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
