Instructions 

  • Peel and clean the onion, then, cut it into wedges. Cut the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Separate the leaves and stems. Peel the carrot, wash, and cut it into bite-sized slices. Chop the garlic chives and scallions into bite-sized pieces.
  • Mince the shallots and garlic.
  • Slice the beef against the grain into your preferred size.
  • Marinate the beef with minced garlic, minced shallots, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, pepper, and cornstarch for 30 minutes.
  • Put the Pho noodles in a large bowl and separate the noodles that stick together.
  • Mix the noodles with sesame oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cooking oil, salt, sugar, and egg.
  • Add a little minced garlic and shallots to a heated pan and fry them until fragrant. Pour in the marinated noodles and stir-fry them for about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add more minced garlic and shallots to the same pan and fry until fragrant. Add the beef and stir-fry it over high heat until medium well (about 80% cooked). Set aside.
  • Add the prepared carrots, bok choy stems, and onions to the pan. Stir-fry the veggies briefly.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and season it with sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and rice vinegar.
  • Stir in the garlic chives and bok choy leaves. Season them with 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce and stir well. Add the bean sprouts and give everything a good stir.
  • Add the beef back to the pan and mix it with the vegetables. Cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

  • The cooking time is based on 5 servings.
  • Feel free to add enoki mushrooms, sausages, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, mustard cabbage, etc., to the stir fry.
  • You should use high heat to stir-fry the beef so that the meat doesn't produce excess liquid.
  • When stir-frying the meat for the first time, only cook it until medium well since you'll stir-fry it with the vegetables later on.
  • Marinating the noodles will enhance their flavor and give them a delightful yellow color.
  • Don't marinate the beef with salt, as doing so will make it tough.
  • You can serve the noodles with soy sauce and sliced chili pepper or soy sauce and a little Vietnamese sate sauce.
