Instructions
1. Cut the beef chuck meat (or flank, rib eye, sirloin steak) into 1/8 inch thick slices, cutting across the muscle grains. This recipe uses 300 grams of beef for two servings.
2. Marinate the beef with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda (optional for better cuts), 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Chinese cooking wine, 1/2 tablespoon of corn starch, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well, ensuring seasonings coat every piece of beef. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook 300 grams of fresh egg noodles according to package instructions (fresh noodles cook very fast, usually a couple of minutes).
4. Heat a carbon steel wok on maximum heat until smoking hot. Add a generous amount of oil and toss to coat the bottom, creating a nonstick surface. Wait for the oil to be smoking.
5. Add the marinated beef to the hot wok and stir-cook until halfway cooked, with some pink color still visible.
6. Add sliced onion to the wok and stir for another 15 seconds.
7. Quickly remove the cooked noodles from the boiling water, shaking off excess water.
8. Add a bunch of scallions and the cooked noodles into the wok. Turn off the heat immediately.
9. Add 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce (preferably a good quality one), and 1.5 teaspoons of dark soy sauce (for color).
10. Start mixing everything well until all ingredients are evenly combined and the noodles are coated.
11. Taste and adjust the flavor before serving, as sodium levels vary between soy sauce and oyster sauce brands.
