Instructions
- Noodle Preparation: Submerge rice noodles in hot water, drain after 15 minutes, and rinse with cold water to prevent further cooking.
- Beef Marination: Cut beef into delicate strips against the grain, then marinate with soy sauce, cornstarch, and cooking oil to tenderize and infuse flavor.
- Preparation Other Ingredients: Chop vegetables and whisk sauce ingredients until sugar dissolves completely, creating a harmonious blend.
- Egg Technique: Heat wok over medium-high flame, scramble eggs until softly set, then remove and reserve on a separate plate.
- Beef Searing: In the same wok, sear marinated beef strips, caramelizing edges and developing rich, deep flavors through precise cooking.
- Vegetable Integration: Introduce minced garlic and choy sum stems, quickly stir-frying until fragrant, then add leaves to slightly wilt.
- Noodle Fusion: Incorporate prepared noodles and sauce, increasing heat to create a glossy coating and ensure thorough flavor distribution.
- Final Assembly: Reincorporate scrambled eggs, gently toss all components together, and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Noodle Prep Technique: Soaking rice noodles in hot water prevents breakage and ensures perfect texture, making them pliable and ready for stir-frying.
- Beef Marination Magic: Slicing meat against the grain with soy sauce and cornstarch tenderizes protein, creating melt-in-your-mouth bites with enhanced flavor depth.
- Wok Heat Management: Maintaining medium-high heat is crucial for achieving signature caramelization and preventing soggy ingredients during quick stir-frying.
- Timing is Everything: Add delicate vegetables like choy sum leaves last to preserve their vibrant color and crisp texture, preventing overcooking and mushy results.
