Fried Beef Hor Fun/Beef Chow Fun

Ingredients

650 g Hor Fun/Kway Teow/Flat Rice Noodle, loosen
200 g Beef Strip loin, thinly sliced
300 g Bean Sprouts
4 - 5 Cloves Garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp Chopped Ginger
2 Tbsp Corn Flour/Starch
3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
3 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Peanut Oil
Ground Black Pepper
4 Scallions, cut into one-inch pieces

Method (video cooked in 3 batches)

Marinate beef with 1 ½ tsp chopped ginger, 1 ½ Tbsp corn flour, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2-½ tsp sesame oil, and a few grinds of black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 20 minutes. Divide the meat into 3 portions.

Heat a large wok over very high heat. Add some peanut oil, swirl to coat the wok, remove excess oil. Toss in the noodles and give it a quick stir. Then add about ¼ tsp of dark soy sauce and ¾ tsp of soy sauce, stir until well mix and remove the noodles to a serving plate.

Heat the wok over high heat again. Add about 1 ½ Tbsp of peanut oil and swirl to coat the wok. Mix in the marinated beef slices, follow by 1 tsp chopped garlic, 2 tsp chopped ginger, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir briefly until the garlic and ginger are fragrant. Then add ½ tsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tsp of soy sauce, stir until the meat is almost cooked. Toss in some scallions, noodles, and a quick stir and mix in some bean sprouts. Stir all the ingredients together until well mixed; adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
