You may have all the beef chow fun ingredients at home. But if you don't cook beef chow fun right it will not taste the same as your favorite Chinese restaurant. I'll show you one simple cooking tip that will elevate your chow fun noodles to Chinese takeaway restaurant level.
I have fond memories of eating beef chow fun in NYC's Chinatown. I remember it was super tasty and satisfying. I also remember it was a pricy dish. In NYC beef chow fun these days cost around $10USD.
Which I'd gladly pay for if there is a restaurant selling beef chow fun around my neighborhood in Bangkok. But, it doesn't exist here in Thailand.
So I made it a mission to cook one up myself. All the ingredients can be found at my local wet/dry market.
This recipe and technique is as close as I'll ever get to the classic beef chow fun!

This is where we start cooking the noodles. You need to have a high a heat as possible. Gather all your ingredients get ready to add them as the cooking should be fast.
Add a tablespoon of oil followed by the noodles. Move the noodles around so it won't burn. Some of your noodles will develop brown and black marks and shrink a little. Cook for another minute then add the onions and bean sprouts.
