ingredients

3/4 pound round/rump steak
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
8 fresh mushrooms
1/2 pound bean sprouts
6 ounces canned bamboo shoots
3 green onions (scallions)
1 egg
2 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cups dried egg noodles
deep frying oil

directions

Slice beef about 1 inch long 1/2 inch wide and as thin as possible. Mix the salt, sugar and soy sauce together and mix well, then add the beef and marinate for at least one hour, longer for more flavor.

Wash and slice the mushrooms, including stems. Slice the bamboo into thin strips; slice the scallions into 1 inch pieces; soak, rinse and drain the bean sprouts. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and beef stock together.

Drain the beef, reserving the marinade. Heat the sesame oil and stir fry the beef for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and remaining marinade, bring to a boil stirring constantly; add the vegetables and simmer for 5 minutes longer.

Cook noodles in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes; drain thoroughly. Deep fry as needed draining on absorbent paper.

Beat the egg adding 1 tablespoon water and pour onto lightly oiled skillet. Make a small thin omelet and slice into thin strips.

Place cooked noodles on hot dish, top with beef mixture and garnish with the strips of omelet.
