Instructions:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
