Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil salted water in a large skillet. Add rice noodles and cook until just tender, ~5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Wipe the skillet dry. Heat oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Add beef in a single layer and sear 60 seconds without stirring.

  3. Step 3

    Flip beef and cook 60 seconds more until edges brown. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add broccoli to the skillet. Toss with oil and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges char.

  5. Step 5

    Return beef and noodles to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss constantly for 90 seconds until glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt or soy as needed. Serve immediately while steam rises.
