Ingredients

4
  • 375 g spaghettini
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1+1/2 cup broccoli
  • 400 g flank steak ((any type of steak, thinly sliced against the grain))

Instructions

  1. 1

    Follow the directions of the pasta package for al dente pasta, but subtract 1-2 minutes from what they suggest. We will be cooking this again in a frying pan, so we want to under-cook the pasta. (Do not add salt to the water when making the pasta because the soy sauce mixture will have enough salt for the dish.)

    When there are about 3-4 minutes left to your noodle timer, add in the chopped broccoli with the noodles and blanch it for a few minutes.

    Drain the broccoli and the noodles out into a strainer and lightly rinse off the extra starch and set aside

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix 8 tablespoons soy sauce, 1½ tablespoons dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce), and 1½ tablespoon sugar and set it aside.

  6. 6

    Slice the beef thinly against the grains and put it in another bowl.

  7. 7

    Marinate the beef with 1 teaspoon corn starch, 4 teaspoons of the pre-mixed soy sauce mixture, and 1 tablespoon water of water for 10 minutes

  8. 8

    Cut the onion in half, then and slice them into thin half moon slices and set aside

  9. 9

    In a frying pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil and set it to high heat and wait for it to get hot.

  10. 10

    Add in onions and stir fry it for 3 minutes

  11. 11
