Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean Sauce

Ingredients

• Rice noodles (8 oz, soaked in warm water)
• Beef steak (8 oz, thinly sliced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Black bean sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Oyster sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Sugar (1 teaspoon)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Bean sprouts (1 cup)
• Green onions (3, chopped)

Instructions

1. Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. In a bowl, marinate the beef slices with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat until shimmering.
4. Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Add the marinated beef to the wok, spreading it out in a single layer. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the beef changes color and is just cooked through.
6. Pour in the black bean sauce, stirring well to coat the beef evenly.
7. Add the soaked rice noodles to the wok, tossing gently to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes.
8. Incorporate the bean sprouts and chopped green onions, stir-frying for another minute until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
9. Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
