If you like to make beef chow fun that tastes even better than your favorite tikka,

Are you looking to make restaurant-quality tender beef?
Try this velveteen technique.
In a mixing bowl, add the beef flank inside.
Marinate it with salt.
Mix until the beef has fully absorbed the salt.
Then add the white pepper.
Shaoxing wine helps to remove the gamey taste of the beef.
Egg white helps to tenderize the beef.
Cornstarch slurry seals the juice of the beef inside.
And oil.
Thoroughly combine.
Marinate for about 30 minutes.
You won't believe how tender it is until you try it.
They are the magic combination.
Hefen noodles are made with rice, water, and sometimes starch.
For stir-frying, it is best to choose the ones with starch in it.
It makes the rice noodles more durable and less likely to break apart.
The store-bought hefen are usually very firm.
To overcome this challenge, simply put the hefen in a microwave
and heat it up for about 3 minutes.
See, they are more flexible now.
Cut the hefen into about 1-inch pieces.
Let's make the sauce.
We're gonna add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and white pepper.
In a wok, over high heat, pour about 2 tablespoons of oil in it.
Transfer the marinated beef inside.
Avoid stir-frying it immediately.
Let's have a beautiful sear before touching it.
Okay, now stir-fry it for about 3 minutes.
Remove.
In the wok, add about 1 tablespoon of oil.
Add the onion and cook until aromatic for about 30 seconds.
In order to get the smoky wok taste,
make sure the heat is on the highest for the entire time.
When stir-frying the hefen, avoid using a spatula.
It's best to use chopsticks or tongs.
So the hefen are less likely to break apart.
In the wok, over high heat, add about 1 tablespoon of oil.
Place the hefen inside.
Cook until aromatic for about 1 minute.
Return the beef and onion.
Also add the sauce.
Now we're gonna mix everything together.
Lastly, add the bean sprouts and scallions.
Mix everything together.
Do not overcook the hefen.
This beef chow mein is 100% better than any takeout place.
