Marinated meat:

• 1 teaspoons light soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

• 300g chicken or steak, sliced thinly

Sauce:

• 2 cups chicken or beef stock (depending on which meat you're cooking)

• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon rice wine

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1 tablespoon cornflour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon  sesame oil

Rest of ingredients:

• 500g/1 lb fresh rice noodles

• 3/4 a bunch of Chinese vegetables, sliced into sections

• 2-3 tablespoons oil

• 1 inch piece ginger, finely chopped

• 1 garlic clove, chopped

• 3 shallots, sliced

• Fresh chili to serve (optional)

Buyer's tip: fresh rice noodles, Chinese vegetables, rice wine and oyster sauce can all be bought at Asian Grocery stores. Keep the rice noodles at room temperature or heat them up in the microwave so that they're soft. Chinese vegetables are Gai Larn or Chinese broccoli etc or you can use broccoli if they aren't available. Dried rice noodles can also be used but these need to be soaked in water as per the directions.

Step 1 - Marinate meat for about 20 minutes. Place your sauce ingredients in a large jug and mix to combine.

Step 2 - In a large wok or frying pan, heat oil and gently fry rice noodles until they turn soft. When you add the noodles into the pan, gently separate the larger chunks so that there aren't any large clumps of noodles. Remove from the pan and place on the serving dish.

Step 3 - Fry the ginger, garlic and shallots until starting to become fragrant (2 minutes or so) and then add marinated meat and fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the frypan and place aside in a separate bowl or plate.

Step 4 - Heat the sauce ingredients (stir the contents of the jug just before adding to the pan to ensure that the cornflour doesn't sit at the bottom) and stirring constantly for a few minutes until thickened. Then add chicken and chinese vegetables and cook for a few minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are soft.
