Instructions

Step 1: If using dried rice noodles, soak 8 oz in warm water for 30 minutes until pliable, then drain. If fresh, separate noodles gently before cooking.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Step 3: Add 10 oz thinly sliced beef sirloin to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until beef is browned but still tender.
Step 4: Toss in 2 cups chopped Chinese broccoli and stir-fry for 2 minutes until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
Step 5: Add the drained noodles, then pour in 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir-fry everything vigorously for 3-4 minutes until noodles are cooked through and sauce coats all ingredients.
Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp white pepper, toss again, then remove from heat and serve hot with optional chili flakes or lime wedges.
