Ingredients

  • 14 oz wide rice noodles
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1 bunch Chinese broccoli or broccolini
  • 2 count eggs
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps

  1. Soak the rice noodles in hot water per the package until pliable; drain.
  2. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Cut the broccolini into 2-inch pieces. Mix the dark soy, oyster sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef 2 minutes until browned; remove.
  4. Add 1 tbsp oil, the minced garlic and broccolini; stir-fry 2 minutes. Push aside, scramble the eggs in the empty space until fully set (160°F).
  5. Add the remaining oil, noodles, beef and sauce. Toss over high heat 2-3 minutes, letting the noodles char lightly in spots, until the beef reaches 145°F; rest 3 minutes, then serve.
  6. Picky eaters can have plain noodles and beef with the sauce on the side.
  7. Make ahead: slice the steak, cut the broccolini and mix the sauce up to a day ahead; store covered in the fridge.

On the side: Cucumber salad (5 min)

2 cucumbers, 1 bottle rice vinegar

  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers. Toss with a splash of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt.
