  3. 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  4. 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil plus few drops for sprinkling
  5. 1/2 cup fresh chicken broth
  6. 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  7. 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  8. 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  9. 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  10. 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  11. About 1 cup peanut or vegetable oil
  12. 14 ounces fresh “big rice noodles,” sliced in 3/4-inch widths
  13. 8 slices jalapeno peppers
  14. 1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese salted black beans
  15. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
  16. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh garlic
  17. 3 tablespoons thinly sliced strips red bell or fresh chile pepper
  18. 3 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
  19. 5 ounces baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise
  20. 1/4 cup sliced scallion greens
  21. Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix the beef with the dark soy sauce, salt, cornstarch, and the 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and set aside.
  2. Mix 1/4 cup of the broth, the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, vinegar, dark soy sauce, and sugar; set aside.
  3. Heat about a cup of oil in a wok or skillet and when hot but not smoking, add the beef and cook, stirring, until the meat starts to change color (it should be pink). Remove with a slotted spoon to drain. Remove the oil from the pan and reserve.
  4. Heat a wok or skillet to hot and add 4 tablespoons of the reserved oil, and swirl the oil around the pan. When hot, add the noodles, spread out over the bottom of the pan, and let cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Flip and cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  5. Push the noodles aside, and add the jalapenos, black beans, ginger, and garlic. Stir briefly, then toss with the noodles. When fragrant, add the red pepper, scallions and bok choy, and continue to toss. Add the oyster sauce mixture and toss to coat. Re-add the beef and stir briefly. Add the remaining broth and continue to stir and cook until most of the liquid is gone. Remove to a plate and serve sprinkled with the green scallion slices, the sesame oil, and the black pepper.

Start to finish not bad! Steak tender. Enjoyed bok choy. Would make again.

I made the recipe without some of the ingredients; I didn’t have bok choy or the peppers so it was a mild version. Very tasty; just what I was looking for!
