Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Oyster Sauce Consider using vegetarian oyster sauce as a tasty alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Low-Sodium) Regular soy sauce can be used but adjust other salt components.
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce Can be substituted with regular soy sauce, but it may change the flavor slightly.
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can enhance the taste with a richer profile.
  • a pinch Pepper Use white pepper for a more authentic Vietnamese flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Optional heat booster; substitute with chili oil or omit entirely.
For the Beef and Veggies
  • 1 pound Beef (Skirt, Flap, Flank, or Ribeye) Choose tender cuts for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for tenderizing meat.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be a great substitute.
  • 1 medium Onion Shallots offer a milder, delightful flavor if preferred.
  • 2 cups Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) Bok choy or regular broccoli can be used as substitutes.
  • 8 ounces Rice Noodles Choose dried, refrigerated, or fresh varieties.
  • 1 cup Bean Sprouts Optional, can be omitted for a simpler dish.
  • 2 stalks Green Onion Use both the green and white parts for best results.
For Cooking

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Sriracha if using. Mix until well combined.
  2. Slice your beef into thin strips, then combine with 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and half of the prepared sauce. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until seared. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil if needed, then sauté 1 sliced onion and 2 cups of sliced Chinese broccoli for 1-2 minutes until onion is translucent.
  5. Add 8 ounces of cooked rice noodles and half the remaining sauce. Stir gently for 1-2 minutes until noodles are heated through and coated with sauce.
  6. Incorporate 1 cup of bean sprouts and the green parts of chopped green onions into the pan with the remaining sauce. Stir-fry for another minute.
  7. Return the sautéed beef to the pan, tossing everything together for 1 minute. Season with additional soy sauce or pepper if needed.
