Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces wide dried rice noodles: These soak up the sauce beautifully giving you that perfect chewy texture.
  • 1 cup steak thinly sliced: Go for a tender cut like sirloin or flank steak for the best results.
  • 1 cup shrimp deveined (tails off): Fresh shrimp works best for a juicy, tender bite.
  • 2 cups assorted vegetables Brussels sprouts, onions, bell peppers, carrots, kale, broccoli: Use a mix for vibrant colors and a variety of textures.
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce: Adds a salty umami punch to the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce: Brings a rich savory depth to the noodles.
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine: Enhances the overall flavor with a subtle nutty aroma.
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar: Balances the savory flavors with a hint of sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger: Adds a fresh slightly spicy kick.
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth: Keeps the noodles moist and helps the sauce coat everything evenly.
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch: Thickens the sauce for that glossy finish.
  • 2 green onions sliced: A fresh, tangy garnish to brighten the dish.
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisps optional: Perfect for a spicy kick if you like heat.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil: Essential for stir-frying the steak shrimp, and veggies.

Method
 

  1. Start by mixing Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Toss the thinly sliced steak in the mixture and let it marinate for about 20 minutes. This step ensures the steak stays tender and flavorful.
  2. While the steak marinates, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and chili crisps (if using) in a medium bowl. Set the sauce aside—it’s the secret to tying all the flavors together.
  3. Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the marinated steak for about 1 minute on each side until browned. Remove the steak and set it aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add a little more oil and toss in your chopped vegetables. Stir-fry them for 4–5 minutes until they’re slightly softened but still crisp. This step adds a burst of color and nutrition to the dish.
  5. Once the veggies are ready, add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and curl into a “C” shape.
  6. Return the cooked steak to the skillet along with the rice noodles. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss to combine. Let the sauce bubble and thicken for 2–3 minutes, ensuring every bite is coated in flavor.
  7. Top the dish with sliced green onions for a fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the magic of homemade stir-fried noodles!

Notes

  • Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Don’t skip the marinating step—it makes the steak incredibly tender and flavorful.
  • Prep Everything First: Have all your ingredients ready to go before you start cooking. Stir-frying moves fast!
  • Use High Heat: A hot skillet ensures quick cooking and prevents soggy noodles.
  • Cook in Layers: Cook the steak, veggies, and shrimp separately for the best texture and flavor.
