Ingredients

500 g 1 lb sirloin or rump steak
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 egg white lightly beaten
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon five spice powder
1 small green bell pepper cubed
1 small red yellow or orange bell pepper, cubed
2 sticks celery thinly sliced
425 g 131/2oz can whole baby corn, drained and cut into halves
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
5 oz vermicelli bean thread noodles, soaked in hot water until soft and then drained

Instructions

Trim the meat of any fat and sinew, and slice into long, thin strips. Combine the soy sauce, egg white, cornstarch and ground pepper; add the meat, stirring to coat.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok. Add the ginger, five spice powder, bell peppers, celery and corn. Stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes or until just beginning to soften. Remove from wok and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil and cook the meat quickly over high heat until browned but not cooked through.
Return all the meat to the wok with the vegetables and add the oyster sauce. Stir-fry over high heat until meat is cooked. Stir in vermicelli. Continue stirring until noodles are fully incorporated and cooked.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!
