Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shaved beef (or thinly sliced flank steak)
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 4 Green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add the shaved beef to the bowl and mix well. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water and drain them well. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and let it sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shirataki noodles to the pan, stirring them to coat with the garlic and ginger mixture. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
Return the beef to the pan, along with the green onions and bean sprouts. Stir to combine all ingredients, cooking for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Season with black pepper, tasting to adjust any seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
