Cantonese Fried Rice Noodles
A classic Cantonese stir-fried noodle dish featuring tender beef, fresh rice noodles, crisp bean sprouts, and fragrant Chinese chives, infused with the smoky 'wok hei' (breath of the wok). This recipe aims for authentic flavor and texture.
🧂 Ingredienser
- 500 g Fresh flat rice noodles (Ho Fun)(Look for fresh, refrigerated noodles. If using dried, prepare according to package directions and ensure they are pliable, not mushy. Separate gently by hand to avoid breaking.)
- 200 g Beef sirloin or flank steak(Slice thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Marinate briefly with 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (optional), and a pinch of white pepper for enhanced flavor and tenderness.)
- 200 g Bean sprouts(Rinsed and drained. Ensure they are fresh and crisp.)
- 100 g Chinese chives (Gau Choi)(Trim ends and cut into 2-inch lengths. If unavailable, substitute with the green parts of scallions.)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (light)(For seasoning and color.)
- 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce(Primarily for color and a deeper, slightly sweeter flavor.)
- 2 Eggs(Lightly beaten.)
- 2 cloves Garlic(Minced (optional, but recommended for aroma).)
- 3-4 tbsp Vegetable oil or other high smoke point oil(For stir-frying.)

Prepare the ingredients: Gently separate the fresh rice noodles by hand to prevent breakage. If they are stiff, you can briefly microwave them for 15-30 seconds or steam them for 1 minute to soften. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and marinate as per ingredient notes. Rinse and drain the bean sprouts. Cut the Chinese chives into 2-inch lengths. Mince the garlic. Lightly beat the eggs.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Sear the beef: Heat a wok or large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear quickly for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside. Do not overcrowd the wok; cook in batches if necessary. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Stir-fry the noodles: Add another tablespoon of oil to the hot wok. Add the separated rice noodles and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften and char slightly. Pour the soy sauce and dark soy sauce over the noodles. Toss vigorously to coat evenly, allowing the sauces to caramelize slightly on the noodles. This step is crucial for developing 'wok hei'.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Add aromatics and egg: Push the noodles to one side of the wok. Add the remaining oil to the empty side. Add the minced garlic (if using) and stir-fry for about 15 seconds until fragrant. Pour the beaten eggs into the garlic-scented oil and scramble them quickly until just set. Break the scrambled egg into smaller pieces.
⏱️ 1 minute - 5
Combine and finish: Add the seared beef, bean sprouts, and Chinese chives to the wok with the noodles and egg. Toss everything together quickly over high heat for another 1-2 minutes, until the bean sprouts are slightly wilted but still crisp, and the chives are tender-crisp. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and heated through. Serve immediately.

💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Use the highest heat setting your stove and wok can handle. 'Wok hei' is essential for authentic flavor.
- ✓Do not overcrowd the wok. Cook ingredients in batches if necessary to ensure proper searing and stir-frying, rather than steaming.
- ✓Fresh, wide rice noodles (Ho Fun) are best. If using pre-packaged, ensure they are separated and pliable before cooking.
- ✓Work quickly once ingredients are in the wok to maintain texture and prevent sogginess.
