Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl for beef marinade
  • Small bowl for sauce mix

Instructions
 

  1. Marinate beef slices with seasoning for 20minutes. Add sesame oil right before cooking.
  2. Cook your noodles of choice. I made my Tofu balls while I marinated the beef.
  3. Follow my Tofu noodle recipe, cut into cubes, and roll into balls.
  4. In a pot of boiling water, cook the Tofu balls until they float to the top. Drain and reserve for later use. If you use dry Ho Fan noodles, soak until soft.
  5. Prepare all vegetables by cutting the spring onion and chives into 1-inch-long sections.
  6. In a hot non-stick pan over high heat, spray a little oil, and sauté the beef until charred, 2-3 minutes. Remove and reserve for later use.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil, saute onions, Yellow Chives, and Spring onion, then add Sprouts and quickly cook for 2 minutes.
  8. Add noodles and seasonings, and give it a quick stir until the sauce is absorbed into the noodles.
  9. Add beef and give it a quick stir, and the noodles are cooked and served immediately.
