Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Beef flank steak
1/3 cup Water
2 tbsp Rice wine
1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Cornstarch
2 Garlic cloves
1 Green onions
Bean thread noodles
4 cups Cooked rice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef:

    • Trim any excess fat from the beef flank steak, then slice it thinly across the grain into thin strips. This step ensures tender and flavorful meat.
  2. Make the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, combine water, rice wine, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside for later use.
  3. Prepare Sai Fun Noodles:

    • Heat several inches of oil in a wok or fryer until hot.
    • Pull apart the bean thread noodles slightly and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Be cautious as they will puff up immediately. Avoid overcrowding the oil.
    • Once they puff up and turn crispy, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  4. Stir Fry:

    • Heat one tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat.
    • Add minced garlic and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Then, add chopped green onions and continue to stir-fry until they are tender. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  5. Cook the Beef:

    • If needed, add more oil to the wok.
    • Add the sliced beef to the wok and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  6. Combine and Serve:

    • Pour the prepared sauce over the beef in the wok. Cook until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly, ensuring all beef slices are evenly coated.
    • Return the cooked onions to the wok and stir everything together to combine.
  7. Plate and Serve:

    • To serve, place a portion of crispy Sai Fun noodles on each plate and top with the Mongolian beef stir-fry.
    • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture of the noodles. Accompany with steamed rice if desired.

Tips:

  • For an extra kick of spice, add sliced red chili peppers or chili flakes to the stir-fry.
  • To make the dish healthier, you can use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce the amount of oil used for frying.
  • Customize the dish by adding your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.
  • Ensure the beef is sliced thinly for quick cooking and tender results.
  • Adjust the amount of sauce according to your taste preferences for a saucier or drier dish.
