The secret to perfect stir-fries lies in remembering the wok cooks quickly at very high temperatures. All that’s required is a quick sizzle, a little shake and a gentle stir for an aromatic Asian feast.
Ingredients
- 500g thick fresh rice noodles
- 500g beef fillet or rump steak, thinly sliced
- 2 red onions, cut into thick wedges
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 bunch baby choy sum, trimmed, coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup (80ml) black bean sauce
- 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
Method
- Step 1Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes to soak. Drain well and set aside.
- Step 2Meanwhile, combine the beef, onion, garlic and ginger in a large bowl. Heat half the oil in a wok over high heat until just smoking. Add one-quarter of the beef mixture and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat in 3 more batches with remaining beef mixture, reheating wok and adding more oil if necessary, between each batch.
- Step 3Return the beef mixture to the wok with the choy sum, blackbean sauce and wine and stir-fry for 1 minute or until choy sum begins to wilt. Add the rice noodles and stir-fry for 1 minute or until noodles are coated in sauce. Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve immediately.
