Marinate thin slices of flank steak with 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oil, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tbsp of Shing wine, 1 egg white, and 1 tbsp of cornstarch for 30 minutes to tenderize the beef.

Combine 1 cup of rice flour, 1/2 cup of tapioca starch, and 1 and 1/2 cups of water, mixing until smooth to make fresh rice noodles.

Oil the bottom of a nonstick pan and add enough batter to barely coat the bottom.

Make a steamer using a large pan filled with water and a trivet, place the nonstick pan in the steamer, cover with a lid, and let it steam for 4 minutes.

Remove the pan and add oil to the top of the rice sheet to prevent sticking, then carefully remove it from the pan and cut it into desired widths to create the noodles.

Repeat the steaming process until all the batter is used for the noodles.

For the sauce, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of sugar, and a few dashes of white pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a pan over high heat and sauté the marinated beef until browned and fully cooked, then remove it from the pan.

Add 1 tbsp of minced ginger and 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute.

Add chopped green onion and sauté for another minute.

Return the beef and flat rice noodles to the pan, pour over the prepared sauce, and add 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, sautéing together on high heat.

Add a handful of bean sprouts and sauté until everything is coated in the sauce.
