Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein Instructions

1. Marinate the beef:

• In a mixing bowl, add the beef flank. Add the salt. Mix until the beef has fully absorbed the salt.
• Then add the white pepper, Shaoxing wine, egg white, cornstarch slurry  (1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water), and oil. Thoroughly combine. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.

2. Boil the noodles and broccoli:

• In a pot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Place the lo mein inside, and cook for about 3 minutes until al dente.
• Rinse the lo mein with cold water to stop cooking. Drain.
• In the same pot, add the broccoli and blanch for about 1 minute until softened. Remove and drain.

3. Stir-fry:

• In a bowl, add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Whisk.
• In a wok over high heat, pour about 3 tablespoons of oil into it. Transfer the beef inside. Stir-fry it for about 3 minutes. Remove.
• In the same wok over high heat, pour 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and stir-fry until aromatic for about 30 seconds.
• Return the lo mein and cook for 1 minute until the aroma comes out. Add the beef, broccoli, red chili peppers, and sauce. Quickly stir everything together.
