How to make beef and noodles
- Marinate the beef: Slice the steak into thin strips then place in a bowl. Add two tablespoons of soy sauce and an egg. Mix together well then set aside.
- Make the sauce: Fry onion and garlic in a large pan until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, honey, Hoisin/Oyster sauce, vinegar and water. Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Fry the beef: Heat enough oil to deep fry the beef in a pot set over high heat. Season flour with a teaspoon of salt. Dip the steak strips into the flour mixture, making sure each strip is well-coated. Shake off the excess then add to the hot oil, frying the beef in batches until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on kitchen towel.
- Combine with the sauce: Place the sauce back on the heat then add the beef and toss well to coat the meat in the sauce. Add cooked noodles and season with more soy sauce, honey or vinegar if needed. Serve sprinkled with thinly sliced spring onions.
How to thicken beef and noodles
If you prefer the sauce to be a little thicker, add 1 teaspoon cornstarch/cornflour mixed with a few teaspoons of water to the sauce while its simmering and cook until thickened.

Love this! Would it be possible to make this in an Airfryer?
I haven’t tried it, but can’t see why it won’t work.
Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! Think this might become a favourite for when we feel like a takeaway style meal at home.
I am so happy to hear that Ruth. It’s a great takeaway-at-home option.
