Chinese Crispy Noodle with Beef
The Chinese Crispy Noodle with Beef is a delectable stir-fry dish that combines crispy chow mein noodles with tender marinated beef, an array of colorful vegetables, and a savory chicken-based sauce. The key to this dish’s appeal lies in the contrast of textures—some of the noodles remain soft, while others turn wonderfully crispy through pan-frying rather than deep-frying.
To prepare the dish, chow mein noodles are fried in a non-stick pan until they achieve a crispy golden exterior. These crispy noodles are then set aside on a plate, ready to soak up the flavorful sauce.
The marinated beef, seasoned with oyster sauce and rice wine, is stir-fried until it is nearly cooked through. Then, an assortment of vegetables including baby bok choy, bell pepper, onion, carrot, and celery are added to the pan. They are stir-fried together until tender, creating a colorful and vibrant mix of flavors and textures.
The sauce, a crucial element of the dish, is a blend of minced garlic, chicken broth (or vegetable broth), oyster sauce, cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. This sauce provides a savory and aromatic flavor profile that coats the meat and vegetables, creating a harmonious blend of tastes.
To serve, the meat and vegetable mixture is poured over the crispy noodles, allowing the sauce to soak into the noodles while still maintaining their delightful crispiness. It’s important to note that the crispy noodles should be served right away, as they are best enjoyed fresh.
The Chinese Crispy Noodle with Beef offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors, making it a favorite for those who appreciate the contrast between crispy and tender elements in a dish. The combination of marinated beef, colorful vegetables, and savory sauce over crispy noodles creates a satisfying and visually appealing meal.
