This is how to cook beef chow fun if you've got a high-powered wok burner. I'll do a video on how to do it without one at some point as well.
Ingredients:
For the Beef:
6 ounces sirloin flap, flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
For the Stir-Fry:
8 to 10 ounces fresh hor fun noodles (or 3 ounces dried wide rice noodles)
Neutral oil (such as rice bran, vegetable, or canola)
1/4 small yellow onion, sliced
3 cloves minced fresh garlic
3 scallions, cut into 2-inch segments
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
Pinch MSG
Pinch ground white pepper
1. Combine the beef, baking soda, soy sauces, wine, and corn starch in a small bowl and agressively massage it. Place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or preferably overnight.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook, stirring gently to break them up, until they are tender, about 1 minute (If using dry noodles, this will take a couple minutes). Drain, rinse under cool water, drain again, then toss with a couple teaspoons of oil to keep them separated.
2. Heat a cup of oil in wok over high heat until shimmering. Add beef and cook, stirring, until it is barely cooked through, about 30 seconds. Drain the oil and set the beef aside. Wipe out the wok.
3. Return the wok to high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat. Add noodles and stir-fry over maximum heat until the noodles are lightly charred in spots, about 1 minute. Add a couple teaspoons of light and dark soy around the rim of the wok and toss to combine. Transfer to a bowl.
4. Return wok to high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat. Add the onions, garlic, scallions, and bean sprouts and stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 20 seconds. Return noodles and beef to wok. Season with MSG, white pepper, wine, and remaining soy sauces. Toss to combine, being careful not to break the noodles. Transfer to a serving platter.

I've been studying Chinese cooking again. Chow Fun flavor requires the "singed" oil (Kenji actually gets the noodles into the flame..COOL). Without the technique of the flipping into the flame, singed oil droplets being caught into the Wok, the dish is Dry Fried Beef: delish but not Chow Fun.

yo kenji! well done on this super classic cantonese retaurant food! It's almost authentic except perhaps the colour of the noodles. The secret of the colour lies in a special kind of dark soy sauce -- the mushroom dark soysauce. It gives the noodles a more kind of homogeneous darker colour, and most importantly, a special flavor that normal dark soy sauce don't have (at least I think so, and this is one of my favorite dishes, and I eat a lot of them). Anyway well done! looking forward to your next video.

Great tip on pouring the soy etc. onto the pan and then incorporating to get rid of the "fresh" taste. That's very important, to me, especially when using fish sauce (which I love). Good luck in making Chow Fun taste real without a high BTU burner. If doing it in the kitchen maybe you can include cleaning tips! I'm going to TRY to make chow fun outside tomorrow (it's in the 30's f here..good luck to me). Also, my portable burner is only 15K BTU. I'll have how bricks from the oven to set bowls on to keep them warm. For Kenji fans; do not buy noodles online. Go to an Asian market so you can see them. Yeah, they will be dry packaged noodles but that's all you get on line. Also, less chance of having rancid noodles.

I had a quick question, I’m looking to pick up a pair of reusable chopsticks. Something I can eat with but also use to cook when I want to. Do you have a material or brand that you typically prefer?

Before cooking, heat your wok for a bit, pour in oil and coat your pan. Pour out the oil and go on with your usual cooking routine. It’s a step called 滑鍋 or “slicking the pot”. You’ll get a lot less sticking. Also for this dish, you don’t pour the dark soy on the wok but onto the noodles. Dark soy is used for 調色 or “tweaking the color” rather than flavoring.

Usually in the beef pre-fried process you may get the oil hot enough first(160C~170C, should see some white smoke from the oil) and just fry them for ~10 sec, either it won't absore too much oil if the oil is not hot enough or it won't be overcooked when you fry it too long. And also when frying the noodles you can use chopsticks in order to seperate ho fun(he fen) without breaking them. If you have a big and heavy wok at your home(like me) and not able to do some tossing, chopsticks will save your day when cooking this dish. But yeah this is a good recipe if you want to try to cook it by yourself. BTW, this should consider "dry fry" method of beef chow fun, there's a version that called "wet fry" which is delicious too(by putting some thicken soup/sauce when the "dry fry" is done).

I have a question I was hoping you or any other Chinese cuisine experts could answer: What is the difference between marinating your meat with just a little cornstarch (you used 1/2 tsp) versus a much greater amount (enough to coat every piece and then shake off the excess)? Why is using so little recommended? Thanks!

@@taco8103 the issue comes when you're prepping for storage -- especially prepping at scale, like in a restaurant. You wouldn't want to trim up your beef on a cutting board, store that in a fridge, then cut up your onion on the same board/same knife without sanitizing first, then store that onion in the fridge. It can get real yucky real quick that way. There are lots of food safety rules to follow when prepping and storing food that are meant to reduce risk *in a restaurant setting*. At home, the rules still loosely apply... but if it's all getting cooked past 140 degrees, it doesn't really matter.

Kenji, question for you: how many flips of the noodles is traditional? I ran across a video of a Chinese chef in China and he commented on a number of flips of the noodles. I can't find that. It was a lot (13-15) and you did a lot. I have to practice getting the noodles into the flame like you did..showoff!

I'm not sure the restaurant off the top of my head but in downtown Oakland's Chinatown there's a Chinese fast food restaurant that makes their noodles fresh everyday!!!

Hey Kenji, I bought the powerflamer based on your recommendation and had a question as I prepare to start cooking on this thing. I want to do longyau like I see in almost all the wok cooking videos I watch. I’m wondering how long I can keep the oil if I do that consistently before each batch. I see most cooks put a very large amount of oil in the wok as it heats up, then dump almost all of it back in the container of oil before beginning to actually cook. Worried I might be cooking with degraded oil if doing it this way. Love all your content! Thanks!

You can try looking for wide Banh Pho Tuoi (Fresh Pho noodles) - Commonly used in the Viet version of chow fun and fairly easy to find in the Bay. Especially if you're willing to make the drive down to San Jose

Not enough color on the noodles. MSG is overkill with two soy sauces. Too Much Oil. But yeah, higher outdoor heat so you'll get Wok Hei Flavor.

You can always find fresh at 99 ranch market. They are hard to find it’s usually a metal rack on wheels 😄 near the noodle section (seen them in 3 different locations concord, el cerrito and sacto)

Kenji: I have a flame thrower and no matter what I try I cannot get that wonderful flame into the wok. The food either burns or braises; neither of those are good choices. There has got to be a secret. What is it?

Really enjoyed the video and the interesting camera angles right up until the taste test. I would change to a front facing camera when tasting the food as the way it is set up now is not ideal. Hearing you masticate is not pleasing at all no matter how good the food looks on screen. Just my thoughts on it. Thanks for the video :)

Quick tip for the fun noodles. If you only find refrigerated, you can nuke it right in the package to soften. Just go thirty seconds at a time, it usually takes about a minute.

I agree with Kenji’s sentiment, there’s something amazing about the use of the wider noodle in Chow Fun. Whenever I get this dish with thinner noodles I brace myself for disappointment.

Every time I get refrigerated packaged hot fun and do the boiling water method, they get all gloopy on the outside and the inner ones still stick together like glue. End result is sad broken up noodles 😩. Perhaps you could demo how you do it? Love your shows!

Use Ice Cold Water instead and see how that works. You know how cooking is... trial and error and honestly it's better to rehydrate Dried Rice Noodles anyways if you can't get Fresh.
