STOVETOP
9/10
Silky wide rice noodles wok-seared with beef, bean sprouts, and chives in dark soy sauce with intense wok hei.
Why It Works
The dish lives or dies by wok hei — the smoky char from a blazing-hot wok. Cooking in small batches and not stirring lets the noodles sear rather than steam.
Key Ingredients
wide rice noodles
beef flank
bean sprouts
chives
dark soy sauce
light soy sauce
