Take 500 grams of refrigerated wide rice noodles and let them sit on the countertop for about 10 minutes to separate.

If the noodles are clumped, microwave them on the lowest setting for about 10 seconds to help separate them.

Slice 100 grams of beef into thin strips.

Marinate the beef with 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, half teaspoon of Shaoxing wine, quarter teaspoon of baking soda, dash of ground white pepper, few teaspoons of cornstarch, and a touch of cooking oil. Mix well and set aside.

Chop 20 grams of kailan, cutting off the tough first inch and slicing it diagonally into smaller bits.

Make a slurry by mixing 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water until dissolved.

Heat a wok over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Add the wide rice noodles to the hot oil and let them sit without stirring for a bit to achieve a char. Add a dash of soy sauce and mix.

Remove the noodles from the wok and set aside.

In the same wok, lower the heat to medium and add the marinated beef. Cook until browned.

Add half a cup of water to the wok, scraping the bottom to release the beef bits and create a broth.

Add half teaspoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce, half teaspoon of sesame oil, and a dash of ground white pepper to the broth.

Add the chopped kailan and mix well.

Bring the mixture to a full boil and then add the slurry gradually, checking the thickness of the gravy as you go.

Once the gravy reaches the desired consistency, serve the beef chow fun with gravy hot.
