Beef Noodles with Oyster Sauce

Beef Noodles with Oyster Sauce

This is another recipe from that Chinese Cooking book that J gave me. I talk about it here. I thought this was one of the best stir-fries I've made so far. J said it didn't have that "stir-fry" taste (I think he means burnt vegetables). Because I cook over really high heat in the wok some of the pieces taste a little charred like on a grill. I think that was the difference with this recipe. He also doesn't like asparagus so I wasn't expecting him to love this.

In a non-metallic bowl mix marinade ingredients and add the beef. Marinate at least 15 minutes.

Boil the noodles according to the package, drain and rinse and set aside.

Heat the wok over high heat. Add half the oil and heat.

Add the asparagus and stir-fry one minute.

Add the beef and marinade to the wok (carefully). Stir-fry until medium.

Remove beef and asparagus from pan.

Heat the rest of the oil and stir-fry garlic, ginger, and onion until onion is soft.

Add broth, wine, and oyster sauce and bring to a boil, continuing to stir.

Return the beef and asparagus to wok with noodles. Mix everything together and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
