Ingredients
300g (10.5 oz) thinly sliced beef (e.g. sirloin, striploin, rib-eye, rump)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, cut into wedges
4cm (1.5”) piece ginger, peeled, finely julienned
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
¼ cup roughly grated carrot
¼ cup roughly grated zucchini
4 x 200g (7 oz) packets shelf-ready udon noodles
2 tbsp soy sauce
¼ cup oyster sauce
2 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine
2 spring onions (scallions), cut into batons
Marinade:
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
Steps
-
Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring to the boil. In the meantime, place the beef and the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Pour in the oil. Add the onion and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until the onion is starting to colour. Add the beef and use a spatula to spread it out in the pan. Allow to sear for 2 minutes. Then stir-fry and allow to settle and sear again for another minute. Add the ginger, garlic, carrot and zucchini. Stir-fry until just combined. Turn the heat off while you prepare your noodles.
-
Place the noodles in your pot of boiling water. Use tongs to gently separate the noodles. As soon as they have come loose, use tongs to transfer the noodles to the pan with the beef. Turn the heat back on and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce and Chinese wine. Toss until everything is well combined and the sauce is shiny and thickened slightly. Toss through the spring onion. Remove from the heat and serve.
