Method

  1. Mix together 1 tbsp each soy sauce, rice wine and oyster sauce with the sesame oil and the cornflour. Add the steak and leave to marinate for 20 mins. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok or large frying pan. When hot, add the noodles and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until the underside is golden. Turn over the noodle cake and cook for a further 2-3 mins, then transfer to a warmed plate.
