  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

For the sauce:

  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • ½ Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoons oyster sauce

  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the steak, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder, and toss to combine.
  • Let the mixture marinate for 30 minutes. While the steak marinates, prepare the remaining ingredients (the dish is face paced so making sure the ingredients are prepared is essential).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce, set aside.
  • Cook the noodles per the package directions. Then let the noodles drain completely.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan. Once hot, add ½ of the meat and get a very good sear on it on both sides. Cook, just until done but make sure you get that nice char. About 2-3 minutes. Place the meat on a plate and repeat with the remaining meat using another 1 Tablespoon of oil and place the cooked meat again onto the plate.
  • Add the last Tablespoon of oil to the pan then add the white onion and stir fry until slightly softened, about 1 minute making sure to stir constantly.
  • Add the noodles to the pan and pour the sauce in, toss the noodles in the sauce until coated.
  • Add the meat, green onions, and bean sprouts to the pan and toss until combined. Let cook for about 3-5 minutes until everything is coated in the sauce, is hot, and the green onions have slightly wilted.
  • Serve immediately.
