Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine flank or skirt steak with Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let marinate for about 20 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Chinkiang vinegar until well combined.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the Hong Kong pan-fry noodles according to the package instructions, usually around 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  4. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and fry them without stirring for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  5. In the same skillet, add the marinated beef and sear for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Add the remaining oil to the skillet, toss in the sliced onion and carrot, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Stir in the baby bok choy and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted.
  8. Pour the prepared sauce into the stir-fried vegetables and bring to a boil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the beef back to the pan, tossing to coat, and serve over the crispy noodles.
