Tips

  • Cut flank steak against the grain and thin to shorten muscle fibers for a tender bite.
  • Cornstarch and baking soda in the marinade help lock in moisture.
  • Vacuum sealing can shorten marination time.
  • Dark soy sauce is mainly for color and can be omitted.
  • Shaoxing wine provides a true takeout flavor.
  • Cook broccoli until it turns a nice bright green.
  • A cornstarch and water slurry thickens the sauce.
  • Noodles used are pre-boiled and ready to cook; adjust if your noodles need boiling first.
