Instructions
- Cook the wide rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

- Add the bean sprouts to the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until they are slightly wilted.
- Return the cooked beef to the wok and add the drained rice noodles.
- Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the mixture. Toss everything together gently to combine and heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
Tips
- For added flavor, marinate the beef slices in a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of sugar for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snow peas for extra color and nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add sliced red chili or chili paste during the stir-frying process.
