    Ingredients

    The ingredients for my noodles with broccoli and beef are accessible and you can find most of them at the Asian or western grocers. If you require a breakdown of where to get specific Asian ingredients, check out my FAQ section below.

    Beef and Broccoli Noodles

    What you’ll need

    For my Asian beef and broccoli noodles, you’ll need the following ingredients:

    • Rib eye or flank steak, thinly sliced
    • broccoli, broken into florets
    • pre-cooked thick egg noodles
    • white onion, thinly sliced
    • vegetable oil

    Noodle sauce:

    • regular soy sauce
    • dark soy sauce
    • oyster sauce
    • black vinegar
    • cornstarch
    • water
    • garlic, minced

    Beef marinade:

    • regular soy sauce
    • sesame oil
    • baking soda
    • cornstarch
    • black pepper

    How to Make Beef Broccoli Noodles

    Thinly slice your beef and transfer to a bowl. Add marinade ingredients and mix in with beef. Set aside to marinate.

    In another bowl, combine noodle sauce ingredients.

    Fill a wok halfway with water and bring to boil. Once it boils, add broccoli and blanch for 1-2 minutes or until vibrant green. Strain broccoli and pour out water. Dry your wok.

    Heat wok over medium heat, add vegetable oil and marinated beef. Spread beef apart and fry until 80% cooked.

    Next add onions and fry until translucent.

    Toss in noodles and add noodle sauce. Mix everything together.

    Cooking tips!

    Below are tips on making my beef and broccoli noodles recipe:

    Freeze your thawed beef for 1 hour for thin slicing

    To cut your beef thinly like how the Chinese restaurants do, wrap your beef in plastic wrap and freeze it for 1 hour. Then remove from the freezer and plastic wrap and you’ll have better control in slicing it thinly.

    Alternatively, if you have frozen beef, defrost overnight in the back of your fridge where it’s colder. Then remove from fridge and plastic wrap and slice thinly.  

    Baking soda and cornstarch are necessary for tender beef!

    The baking soda and cornstarch are the keys to making beef tender. These ingredients break down the bonds of the beef and create an outer layer of moisture along with the other marinade ingredients. This makes the beef tender and delicious even when fried in a hot wok.

    Blanching broccoli will prevent overcooking

    Since broccoli is a harder vegetable, it takes more time to cook so it becomes tender but still crunchy. That is why blanching the broccoli prior to cooking the noodles is the key to ensuring that you don’t overcook your beef or noodles. So do not skip this step!

    Pre-mix your noodle sauce!

    Because the cooking process is only 5-7 minutes, you do not want to be fumbling around measuring the sauce ingredients as the beef is overcooking itself in the hot wok. Before you begin cooking, pre-mix the noodle sauce ingredients.

    FAQ

    Below are frequently asked questions about these beef broccoli pan fried noodles:

    Where do I buy these noodles?

    You can buy these thick yellow egg noodles at any Asian grocer. If you can’t this ingredient, substitute with udon noodles or you may use a thinner egg noodle.

    Where can I buy Oyster Sauce?

    Oyster sauce is found at any Asian grocer in the sauce aisle. You may also find this at a Western grocer in the international aisle.

    Where can I find Black Vinegar?

    Most Asian grocers will carry black vinegar in the sauce aisle. You may also get lucky and find it in the international aisle of a western grocer.

    If you really can’t find it, substitute with rice vinegar or white vinegar.

    What kind of beef should I use for this recipe?

    Beef steak with a little bit of fat running through it (not too much but just some lines of it) or flank steak can work too if you have a bigger budget.

    How do you thicken beef and broccoli?

    Cornstarch water is the trick to thickening the sauce for this noodle dish.

    What kind of noodles do Chinese restaurants use?

    They use thick or thin egg noodles for this recipe.

    Do you boil noodles before stir fry?

    Generally, the noodles should be pre-cooked when you purchase them. It should say on the package on under the instructions. This makes the process much easier.

    However, if you can’t find pre-cooked egg noodles, you’ll need to steam or boil them according to packet instructions ahead of time.

    How do you tenderize beef before stir fry?

    Baking soda and cornstarch along with the marinade ingredients helps to break down the protein bonds and create an outer layer of moisture making beef tender.
