Ingredients
 
 

  • 7.93 oz rice vermicelli 2-3 mm wide
  • ½ lb flank steak sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces on a bias (see Notes)
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 3 cups gai-lan chopped into 2-inch long pieces (or chopped baby bok choy or yu choy sum)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Noodle Sauce

Beef Marinade

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, marinate thinly sliced beef with marinade ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, soak rice noodle vermicelli in warm water for 5-10 minutes until loosened and slightly softened. Monitor this process. Drain the noodles in a colander and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine noodle sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan on medium heat. Fry marinated beef and until it’s 50% cooked and still a bit red.
  • Toss in minced garlic, chopped gai-lan and snap peas and cook until the gai-lan has softened a bit.
  • Next toss in the strained noodles with the prepared noodle sauce. Mix everything together until noodles are well coated and there's no liquids in the base of the pan. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To thinly slice beef easily

Freeze it for 45-60 minute fully exposed and when the exterior is hardened, slice it against the grain on an angle into ¼-inch thick pieces with a sharp knife.
