Chinese language Beef and Broccoli Noodles

That is the stir fried noodles model of everyone’s favorite Chinese language Beef and Broccoli. It’s a agency takeout favorite, particularly within the States.

I’ve been to China and Hong Kong a number of occasions and I can truthfully say I don’t recall ever seeing it on a menu, and I bear in mind studying someplace that broccoli is definitely fairly costly in China. Thus, I count on that it is a Chinese language-American dish. 🙂

However that’s okay! It doesn’t detract from the deliciousness!

However simply because it’s a westernised one, it doesn’t imply we decrease our requirements!! Nice stir fried noodles come all the way down to the sauce, and I actually suppose that is pretty much as good as what you get from (good!) Chinese language eating places – however much less greasy. 🙂

All the time proceed with warning should you see a stir fry sauce recipe made with little greater than soy sauce + sugar. An excellent stir fry sauce wants one thing so as to add depth of flavour. Chinese language cooking wine (or dry sherry or Mirin), Oyster Sauce, Hoisin Sauce or a myriad of different lesser recognized however extremely flavourful Asian condiments.

For those who scale it all the way down to serve 2 (use scaler by hovering over Servings), you can also make this in a wok. See notes for easy methods to make this with CHARLIE, my all objective stir fry sauce. Recipe VIDEO under.

Components

Sauce:

• ▢ 1/2 cup / 125 ml water
• ▢ 1 tbsp cornflour / cornstarch
• ▢ 2 tbsp darkish soy sauce (Word 2)
• ▢ 1 1/2 tbsp mild soy sauce (Word 2)
• ▢ 1 1/2 tbsp Chinese language cooking wine/Shoasing wine (Word 3)
• ▢ 1 tsp white sugar (omit if utilizing Mirin)
• ▢ 1/8 tsp Chinese language 5 spice powder (not vital)
• ▢ 1/2 tsp sesame oil (not vital)
• ▢ 1/4 tsp pepper (white or black)

Non-compulsory Garnishes:

• ▢ Sesame seeds
• ▢ Chopped shallots / inexperienced onions / scallions

Directions

• Sauce: Place water and cornflour in a bowl, combine. Then add remaining elements and blend.
• Beef: Place in a bowl and add 1 1/2 tbsp Sauce. Combine.
• Broccoli & Noodles: Convey a big pot of water to the boil. Add broccoli, cook dinner for 1 minute. Add noodles then after 15 seconds, use a wood spoon to separate the noodles then instantly drain (do not have the noodles within the water for greater than 1 minute).

Stir Fry:

• Warmth oil in a big skillet over excessive warmth.
• Add garlic, rapidly stir. Add onion and cook dinner for 1 minute till it is tinged with brown.
• Add beef and cook dinner till it modifications from crimson to brown.
• Add noodles, broccoli and sauce. Toss collectively for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes or till Sauce thickens and coats the noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and shallots, if utilizing, and serve!

Recipe Notes:

1. NOODLES: I make this with contemporary noodles, offered within the fridge part. I exploit egg (yellow noodles). For those who solely have dried, use about 250g / 8 oz (use yellow noodles). Prepare dinner them per the packet BEFORE or with the broccoli (relies upon how lengthy it takes, broccoli solely wants 1 1/2 – 2 minutes max).

This can be made with dried rice noodles (white) – use 200g / 7 oz (it expands extra so use much less).

2. SOY SAUCE: Not all soy sauces are created equal! Gentle soy sauce is saltier than all objective and darkish soy sauce. Darkish soy sauce has a extra intense flavour and makes the noodles a darker color.

You should utilize all objective soy sauce (i.e. not labelled “Darkish” or “Gentle”, like Kikkoman) instead of each of those. The color of your stir fry won’t be fairly as darkish however the flavour will likely be comparable. You may as well substitute the darkish soy sauce with 1.5 tbsp of sunshine soy sauce. DO NOT use simply darkish soy sauce – the sauce flavour will likely be means too robust! Additionally please don’t use candy soy sauce / kecap manis.

3. COOKING WINE: Dry Sherry, Japanese cooking sake and Mirin are nice subs. If utilizing Mirin, omit the sugar. For those who can’t eat alcohol, omit this and use CHICKEN OR BEEF BROTH as a substitute of the water within the sauce. 🙂

4. Sure this recipe can also be terrific with rooster. 🙂

5. That is the stir fried noodles model of Chinese language Beef and Broccoli. The sauce flavour is stronger as a result of there’s extra elements for the sauce to coat.

6. ALL PURPOSE STIR FRY SAUCE: This may be made utilizing Charlie, my All Function Stir Fry Sauce which may be saved for weeks and weeks, so make an enormous batch! Give the jar a very good scrape, use use a spoon if wanted to combine up the cornflour that may have settled on the backside of the jar. Then use 6 tbsp of Charlie + 1/2 cup of water + Chinese language 5 Spice instead of all of the Sauce elements.

7. Vitamin per serving, assuming 4 servings. For LOW SODIUM, use low sodium soy sauce for each the soy sauces and it’ll cut back to 537 mg sodium per serving.
