Instructions

  1. Mix the beef slices with the soy sauce, sugar and oil. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Separate the rice noodles if they are stuck together and drain them (or soak them in lukewarm water if they are dry).
  3. Slice the onion, garlic and leeks.
  4. Heat 2 spoonfuls of oil in a wok over high heat and sear the meat for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  5. In the same wok, fry the onion and garlic for 1 minute, add the leeks and bean sprouts for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the noodles, the oyster sauce and a little soy sauce, then toss for 2 to 3 minutes, taking care not to break them.
  7. Return the meat, mix for 1 more minute and serve immediately with lime and pepper.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the beef with smoked tofu and use plant-based soy sauce and oyster sauce.
