Every time when we visit Ikea on Friday, we are super happy to have 2-3 plates of the black pepper beef noodle. They use spaghettini and the dish is a very common Chinese style of chow mein noodles. All of my family members love the tastes. Then I figure out, spaghettini is the best substitute for Chinese alkaline noodle when making a bowl of yummy chow mein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook\u2019s Note about making tender beef slices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1.  Mix oil before frying the beef can protect our sauces and starch.<\/li>
  2. After spreading the beef strips to the pan, let them stay for around several seconds until the starch finish gelatinization<\/strong>, otherwise the marinating tissues might be separated from the meat. In addition, be gentle and quick in the whole process.<\/li>
  3. The beef strips should be added at the very last of the noodle stir fry process,<\/strong><\/em> extra movement can cause the falling of the marinating coating and thus making the beef strips losing the tender juice texture.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    About the noodles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Choose the right type of noodles. For common Chinese chow mein, they are two large groups, the first one is egg noodles (commonly used in Northern China and work perfectly with sauces). And the second is Cantonese Chow Mein, which is much drier and thinner, working best with crisper chow mein. The noodle I use this time is dried egg noodles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
