Noodles Recipes - Transparent Noodles With Beef

Ingredients

  • 1lb (1.5kg) rump beef, cut across the grain into thin strips

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry

  • 1/3 cup (75ml) peanut oil

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

  • 8 oz (225g) transparent noodles

  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 3/4 cup (175g) bean sprouts

  • 3 spring onions, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup (50ml) beef stock

Method:

  1. Put the beef strips into a shallow bowl. Combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the wine or sherry, 1 tablespoon of oil and the cornstarch until they are well blended.

  2. Pour the mixture over the beef strips and toss gently to coast them. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

  3. Meanwhile, out the noodles into a bowl and pour over boiling water. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Drain.

  4. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying-pan. When it is hot, add the beef and stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes. Push the strips to the side of the pan and add the noodles and remaining ingredients. Fry for 1 minute, then stir the beef strips into the noodles.

  5. Add the remaining soy sauce and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer the mixture to a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
