beef udon stir-fry

This beef udon stir-fry recipe is similar to a classic Cantonese dish beef chow fun. But instead of using ho fun noodles, we’ll be using udon for an extra chewy texture. This noodle stir-fry consists of udon, scallions, ginger, bean sprouts and beef. It’s a perfect recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to make!

ingredients for beef udon stir-fry:

• 200g beef rump steak (or any cut of your choice)
• 1 pack of frozen udon
• 2-3 scallions (chopped in long pieces)
• 1/2 onion
• 1 handful bean sprouts
• a drizzle of sesame oil

for the marinade:

• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp white pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp water
• pinch of baking soda

additional sauce for the stir-fry:

• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce

tips

• Freeze the steak for 20-30 minutes so that it’s easier to cut into thinner slices.
• Make sure to “massage” the marinade into the beef so the sauces really absorb into the meat.
• Frozen udon is recommended over packaged udon as it has a firmer and chewier texture.
