This one’s another one of my childhood favourites and I’ve been craving it for weeks. After a long awaited trip to the Chinese supermarket I finally got my ingredients and was ready to cook away. Nothing beats dry ho fun cooked in a wok on a chinese stove. But who has got one of those at home and to be honest it’s still sooooo good cooked on a regular hob.

It’s a super easy dish to make, very healthy and I love the squidgy soft rice noodles with the flavour of stir-fried beef. Usually I would just use spring onions and beansprouts but went a bit wild this time and added different veggies. It definitely works.

INGREDIENTS

• 200g rice sticks (cooked to instructions - make sure to keep a bit of the water in the pot if you are cooking your noodles in advance, as they will stick otherwise. I usually start cooking them when I start making the beef, so everything is done at the same time)
• 250g beef steak (at room temperature), sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 6 medium size mushrooms, sliced
• 1 pepper, sliced
• handful of fresh spinach
• 3 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 good dashes of soy sauce
• 1 dash of mirin (rice wine - you can also use white wine if you don’t have any)
• Sesame oil to serve (optional)

PREPARATION METHOD

1. Heat some rapeseed or vegetable oil in a wok or large pan until very hot. Fry the onions, stirring continuously for a couple of minutes.
2. Add the beef and fry until it starts to brown. It is very important that your wok is hot and the meat not cold, otherwise it will start to stew.
3. After a few minutes add the oyster sauce and stir until the meat is coated. Add the mirin, soy sauce, garlic and vegetables and fry for about five minutes.
4. Now mix in your noodles and keep stirring until everything is well combined, and the noddles are covered in the sauce. If it’s still too dry for you add a bit more soy sauce.
5. Serve hot with a drizzle of sesame oil and chili sauce.

Enjoy with Chinese beer or green tea. :)
