Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon potato starch
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon five spice powder
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 lb beef sirloin flap steak
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large carrot
- 5 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- ½ large yellow onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 lb pre-cooked frozen lo mein noodles
- 6–8 scallions
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix potato starch and water until fully dissolved. Add dark soy sauce, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, five spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil and whisk until well combined.
- Marinate sliced beef in 2 tablespoons of the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Set remaining sauce aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Set aside on a clean plate.
- In the same pan, add more oil if necessary and stir-fry the carrots, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Return the seared beef and any juices to the pan, add cooked lo mein, remaining sauce, and scallions. Stir-fry until well combined and noodles are glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add a splash of water or broth if desired. Serve immediately garnished with additional scallions.
Notes
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan while searing the beef for best results.
