Directions
-
Thinly slice the filet mignon across the grain into strips approximately 2x1/2x1/4 inches.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 2 teaspoons light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cooking wine, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Marinate the sliced beef in this mixture for 15 minutes.
-
Pour 2 quarts of oil into a deep-fryer or heavy pot and heat to 400ðF (200ðC).
-
Test the oil temperature by dropping a single rice noodle in; if it pops up immediately, the oil is ready.
-
Carefully add the skein of Chinese rice noodles to the hot oil. They will puff up instantly.
-
Immediately remove the puffed noodles and drain on paper towels.
-
Heat a wok or large skillet on high heat and coat the bottom and sides with 2 tablespoons of oil.
-
Add the coarsely chopped onions and fry for 1 minute.
-
Add the marinated beef to the wok. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring very little to allow browning.
-
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, and 3 tablespoons water. Stir until smooth.
-
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions. Stir continuously for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
-
Remove from heat and immediately spoon the beef mixture over the crispy noodles.
