Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 0.5 pounds steak (thinly sliced)
- 8–10 shrimp (deveined and tails removed)
Noodles and Vegetables:
- 0.5 pounds wide dried rice noodles (prepared according to package instructions)
- 1.5 cups assorted chopped vegetables (shaved Brussels sprouts, onions, bell peppers, carrots, kale, broccoli florets)
- Green onions (cut into 1-inch pieces)
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons oil (more as needed)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- Optional: chili crisp or chili flakes (for heat)
Instructions
- Marinate beef strips in Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and soy sauce for 20-30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Whisk chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, minced ginger, and cornstarch into a smooth, glossy sauce mixture.
- Heat wok or large skillet to medium-high temperature, adding oil to create a sizzling surface.
- Quickly sear marinated beef slices for approximately 60 seconds per side until golden brown edges develop, then transfer to a holding plate.
- In the same cooking vessel, introduce additional oil if needed and rapidly stir-fry chopped vegetables for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Introduce shrimp to the vegetable mixture, cooking until they transform into a vibrant pink color and curl into characteristic C-shape, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Reintroduce seared beef to the pan, then add cooked noodles and prepared sauce.
- Toss ingredients vigorously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring sauce evenly coats and slightly thickens around noodles, beef, and shrimp.
- Finish by folding in freshly chopped green onions, remove from heat, and garnish with optional chili crisp or red pepper flakes for additional zest.
Notes
- Meat Prep Magic: Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and ensure even marination by thoroughly coating each piece.
- Sauce Secrets: Whisk sauce ingredients vigorously to prevent cornstarch clumping and create a smooth, glossy coating.
- Heat Control: Use high heat for quick searing to lock in steak juices and prevent overcooking, which can make meat tough.
- Vegetable Crunch: Cut vegetables uniformly for consistent cooking and maintain a slight crispness by not overcooking.
- Gluten-Free Swap: Replace wheat noodles with rice noodles or zucchini noodles for a gluten-free alternative.
- Protein Flexibility: Substitute shrimp with tofu or chicken for varied protein options that suit different dietary preferences.
