BEEF AND BLACK BEAN ON RICE NOODLES 豉椒牛河
Common variations include using chicken instead of beef and adding egg swirl to the sauce. It is also common to add pickled mustard greens too.You can also add shitake or other mushrooms. Straw mushrooms come to mind too. Bok choy or gailan can be added for more veggies.Make it spicy by adding hot bean paste instead of black bean and garlic sauce.Use any type of noodles including spaghetti. But typically, a flat noodle will hold onto the sauce better. And this dish is all about the sauce!

Steps:
- Slice flank steak to approx. 4mm thick pieces (Step 2 is optional. It is for making the beef more soft and tender, similar to the ones at Cantonese restaurants)
- Soak sliced beef in water for 5 minutes and then drain water and squeeze out excess water from the beef. Let it dry in a colander or use a paper towel to dry the beef as much as possible. Squeeze out as much fluids as possible.

- Mix the beef with the dark soy sauce, salt, cornstarch, and the 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and set aside.
- Mix 1/4 cup of the broth, the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, vinegar, dark soy sauce, and sugar; set aside.
- Heat about a cup of oil in a wok or skillet and when hot but not smoking, add the beef and cook, stirring, until the meat starts to change color (it should be pink). Remove with a slotted spoon to drain. Remove the oil from the pan and reserve.

BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE
I love this dish. It's full of flavor, and takes minutes to cook. This is definitely, one of my favorite suppers. This is essentially 3 stir fried dishes in one - stir fried spinach, beef in oyster sauce and mushrooms in tangy vinegar. This dish uses all my top store cupboard ingredients: groundnut oil for the stir-fry, light soy sauce, Shaohsing rice wine, Chinkiang black rice vinegar and dried chile flakes. It also has oyster sauce in it. Try and find an oyster sauce which doesn't have chemical additives or Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in it - some people are allergic to MSG so check the label to make sure that it doesn't have flavor enhancers. This is a balanced dish because of the use of spinach - (yin) and meat and garlic (yang). Stir frying has a neutral element. You can serve this with plain Jasmine rice or just with the spinach and mushrooms.

- Heat a wok over high heat, and add 1 tablespoon groundnut oil. Add the garlic, and chile, and toss quickly. Then, add the spinach leaves, and toss so they warm for 5 seconds. Scatter them onto a large serving plate.
- Heat the wok over high heat, and add the remaining groundnut oil. Add the beef slices, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, adding a dash of Shaohsing rice wine. Season with a pinch of dried chile flakes. To serve, lay the beef over a bed of the garlic-spinach leaves.
- To make the mushrooms: Reheat the wok, add the oil, then add the oyster mushrooms and stir fry for 1 minute. Add a small splash of water to create some steam to help cook. Season with the black rice vinegar, and light soy sauce. Spoon the mixture over the beef, and serve.
