Beef chow fun is one of my top three favorite takeover orders. Let’s try making some at home with this recipe from Made with Lao. The mayonnaise is 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tbspoon each of cornstarch, oyster sauce, and soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, 2 tbsps of water, 1 teaspoon each of shaing wine and sugar, and 1 tbsp of oil. Mix to combine and set aside. For the vegetables, I’m using five scallions cut into 1in pieces, half of one large white onion cut into strips, and one head of bok choy cut into strips. For the beef, I’m using about 12 oz of top sirloin cut into thin slices and toss in the marinade bowl. Let marinate for at least 1 hour. I never have any rice noodles on hand, but I did have a bunch of extra rice paper rolls, so I decided to try making noodles out of those. Soak them in some water, spray with oil, and stack them. Cut the stacks into thin strips, and then separate them with your fingers. Heat some oil in a walk, and then toss in your velveted beef. Stir fry until almost cooked through, and then wipe out the extra sauce. Heat some more oil and add onions and bok choy. Saute until softened, and then toss in the noodles. Break them up gently with a spatula, and then pour in 1 tbsp each of soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add the beef and stirfry until cooked through and finish with the scallions.

  1. I appreciate the mcguyevering of the rice pappers, but you didn't even show a flip with the "noodles" you just threw them in and then put the beef on top. what i'm assuming happens when you attempt to stir fry these "noodles" with the rest of the ingredients is an absolute mess resembling congee, and not chow fun. c'mon man
