Stir-fried beef noodles

You can make delicious stir-fried beef noodles at home with a perfect wok hei (wok aroma): the rice noodles are dry and the beef is tender. Onions, bean sprouts, chives and scallions are stir-fried together, creating a wonderfully fragrant dish. Simply season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper and other seasonings. The dish is almost oil-free, yet still incredibly fragrant and full of smoky flavor.

The beef slices are light red, the preserved eggs are dark brown with white lines, and they are dotted with emerald green coriander and bright red chili peppers, creating a sharp contrast in color. The beef is chewy, the preserved eggs are smooth and slightly elastic, and the fresh fragrance of the seasoning wraps the ingredients, which is salty, fresh, slightly sour, and has a unique mellow feeling of preserved eggs. The more you chew, the more delicious it tastes.

Imagine a steaming hot skillet arriving at your table — the air alive with sizzle and warmth. At the centre, a cloud of fluffy rice nestles beneath a melting pad of butter, while thin ribbons of beef begin to sear and caramelise at the edges.

The result is a hearty, comforting platter that crackles with heat — smoky beef, buttery rice, and fragrant pepper blending into a satisfying harmony. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that still feels indulgent and fun, it’s a simple dish with a dramatic presentation that warms from the skillet up.
