*Recipe is included in this collection.

PREPARATION:

Slice flank steak across the grain in thin strips no more than 1/8
inch thick. Mix with meat marinade for 1/2 hour. String and cut green
beans in 1-1/2 inch length. Cut green onions the same length. Combine
sauce mixture. Separate store bought rice noodles so they will not
stick to each other. If you make your own noodles, cut them in 1/2
inch wide strips and separate them.

COOKING:

Stir fry green beans in 1 tbsp. oil for 3-4 minutes, adding 2 tbsp.
water the last 2 minutes and cover. Set aside. Add 1 tbsp. oil and
brown the garlic and ginger. Stir fry beef, drizzle 1 tbsp. of oyster
sauce on top. Set aside. Add 2 tbsp. oil and stir fry noodles,
turning and adding a little water so they'll soften. It takes about
3-4 minutes. You may find you have to add more water or oil to keep a
steady stream of steam to help soften the noodles. Add back the
vegetables and meat. Add the rest of the oyster sauce, soy sauce and
sesame oil.

DO AHEAD NOTES:

Do through preparation.

COMMENTS: Rice noodles can be purchased in Chinatown by the pound.
They come in sheets or pre cut. You can easily make your own rice
noodles.
