Method

1. 1

   Loosen the ho fun.

2. 2

   Slice the beef, add the marinade and marinate briefly.

3. 3

   Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a wok and stir-fry the beef until about 80% cooked, then remove and strain the oil. You are almost deep frying the beef at this stage to lightly cook them. Then pour excess oil away.

4. 4

   In the same wok stir-fry the onion and half the bean sprouts briefly. Add the ho fun and toss, then half the garlic chives and the spring onion, and season with the sugar, salt, oyster sauce and light soy sauce.

5. 5

   Return the beef to the wok, add the remaining chives, spring onion and bean sprouts, and add dark soy sauce for colour. Stir-fry until the ho fun is evenly coloured, then plate.
