Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup water and 1 tbsp cornflour and mix until smooth. Then stir in 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 1/2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine, 1 tsp white sugar, 1/8 tsp Chinese five spice powder, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp white or black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the stir-fry sauce.
- Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl and add 1 1/2 tbsp of the prepared sauce. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate briefly.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute. Then add the egg noodles. Drain both together to avoid overcooking.
- Heat 1 1/2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and onion, stir-frying until fragrant. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned.
- Return the drained broccoli and noodles to the skillet. Pour in the remaining sauce and stir quickly to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped shallots or green onions. Serve immediately.
