Ingredients
  • 1 pound FILET MIGNON, GRISTLE
Directions
  1. 1
    Thinly slice the filet mignon across the grain into strips approximately 2x1/2x1/4 inches.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    Marinate the sliced beef in this mixture for 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Pour 2 quarts of oil into a deep-fryer or heavy pot and heat to 400°F (200°C).
  5. 5
    Test the oil temperature by dropping a single rice noodle in; if it pops up immediately, the oil is ready.
  6. 6
    Carefully add the skein of Chinese rice noodles to the hot oil. They will puff up instantly.
  7. 7
    Immediately remove the puffed noodles and drain on paper towels.
  8. 8
    Heat a wok or large skillet on high heat and coat the bottom and sides with 2 tablespoons of oil.
  9. 9
    Add the coarsely chopped onions and fry for 1 minute.
  10. 10
    Add the marinated beef to the wok. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring very little to allow browning.
  11. 11
    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.
  12. 12
    Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions. Stir continuously for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  13. 13
    Remove from heat and immediately spoon the beef mixture over the crispy noodles.
