NOUILLES CHINOISES SAUTEES AU BOEUF -- CHOW MEIN

Hello everyone and welcome to Food is Love I hope you are all doing well This week I suggest bringing the restaurant to your home with two recipes that you often eat at a restaurant or have delivered to you We start today with stir-fried beef noodles You can of course substitute beef with chicken or shrimp for example it's up to you For the rest of the ingredients I have included in the video description a detailed list along with the exact measurements for making this recipe for two or three people And of course I will go over everything with you as we go along as usual As for noodles you can choose between fresh noodles or dehydrated noodles Both will work perfectly even though I have a slight preference for the fresh ones Enough talking let's get to the recipe First thing we're going to look at together is the mushrooms You'll need four or five large shiitake mushrooms You can find them for a fee but they are easier to find in their dehydrated form And in that case you will think to rehydrate them in warm water one or two hours in advance If you can't find any near you just take another type of mushroom like Paris mushrooms that will be very good You can also now cook your noodles in boiling water according to the instructions on the package for the cooking time Think about untangling your noodles Once cooked drain them and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking Now we can season and marinate our meat I have a 250-gram steak in front of me but I could have chosen beef tenderloin rump steak ribeye or even chicken It makes no difference to the preparation You will have to finely mince this meat For your convenience I recommend placing your meat in the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden it slightly The cutting will be easier Once the meat is finely chopped place it in a bowl And you will add a teaspoon of black soy sauce A tablespoon of light soy sauce A tablespoon of oyster sauce A teaspoon of cornstarch A teaspoon of brown sugar You are going to grate one or two cloves of garlic And you will also grate about 2 centimeters of ginger You mix well and you can let your meat rest at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients It happens to be a carrot mushrooms a large onion 5 or 6 stalks of coriander 2 green onions if you can't find them replace them with green onions First peel your carrot and then cut it into julienne Then after cutting off their stems coarsely chop the mushrooms Now cut the onion in half then each half into eight pieces You will roughly chop the coriander including the stems The same for chives but chop the bulbous part more finely after of course cutting off the roots Last step before cooking it involves preparing the sauce with which we will stir-fry our vegetables and noodles In a large glass pour 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce then 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil 1 ½ teaspoons of black pepper You can enhance this sauce with a bit of chili puree or sriracha To this you add 3 tablespoons of water mix well and the sauce is ready You will now pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a hot pan Once the oil is very hot sear your meat for 2 minutes then remove it from the heat Once the meat has been removed in the same pan and over high heat you will again heat 2 tablespoons of oil before adding the onion and carrot Sauté for 2 or 3 minutes then add the mushrooms You mix and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes before the meat returns After thoroughly mixing you can now pour the sauce And right away place the noodles in the pan giving them a few quick snips to help mix them Once everything is well mixed and the noodles are completely coated in sauce you will add a large handful of soy sprouts You keep mixing them up You now add the coriander and chives You turn off the heat and finish mixing your noodles Here are our spicy beef noodles ready to be enjoyed Feel free to add some spicy sauce I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you next Saturday for a new home restaurant Ciao
