Work in progress

I got this recipe from The Woks of life. I first cooked it as an experiment on 22 April 2025. Here's my “next time” recipe. The sauce quantities are influenced by this recipe. I then modified it on 22 May 2025.

Ingredients

Per serving

Preparation

1. Cut the beef into slices about 1.5 cm on a side. Mix with the garlic and allow to permeate. Fry in a very hot pan until cooked. Reserve.
2. Cut the gai lan and fry with garlic in a little more oil. Reserve.
3. Mix the sauce ingredients.
4. Beat the egg and add to the pan. Fry and break up into small pieces.
5. Add the noodles and sauce and heat on extreme heat to caramelize. Take care not to break up the noodles
6. Lower heat, add the reserved ingredients and mix.

My photos from last time are a guide at best. They were done with much narrower noodles, and they broke up far too much:

On 22 May 2025 I ended up with this:

Somehow I think I need more gai lan and more flavour sauces.

Notes

This recipe might also be interesting, but I found it difficult to read. It doesn't seem obviously different from the other two (The Woks of life and recipetineats).

The Woks of Life recipe includes things that I haven't found necessary, including baking soda, cornflour and white pepper. One day I might revisit that decision.
