Directions
-
Whisk together the warm water, light soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and oyster sauce in a small jug or bowl until well combined. Set aside.
-
Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until smoking. Add the peanut or vegetable oil and swirl to coat the base and sides.
-
Add the thinly sliced beef to the wok. Stir-fry in two batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, cooking for about 2 minutes or until browned but still tender.
-
Transfer the cooked beef to a heatproof plate and set aside.
-
In the same wok, add the fresh hokkien noodles and sliced choy sum. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until the choy sum begins to wilt and the noodles are heated through.
-
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together quickly to ensure an even coating.
-
Return the beef to the wok. Stir-fry everything together for another minute, just until the beef is heated through and well combined with the sauce and noodles. Serve immediately.

Note
For best results, ensure your wok or pan is very hot before adding the oil to achieve a good sear on the beef without steaming it.
If you cannot find fresh hokkien noodles, dried egg noodles can be used as a substitute; ensure they are cooked according to package instructions and drained well before adding to the wok.
Choy sum can be substituted with other leafy greens like bok choy, spinach, or even broccoli stems if preferred.
This dish is best served hot straight from the wok. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water to refresh the texture.
Adjust the amount of sweet chilli sauce based on your desired level of spiciness and sweetness.
