Cut the beef into small pieces and marinate them with light soy sauce and half of the crushed garlic. Top tip: Pierce the meat with a fork or skewers to help the meat absorb the marinade better. Set it aside.

Boil the noodles, strain them, and discard the water according to the instructions. Set it aside.

Heat one tablespoon of cooking oil in a frying pan and lightly stir-fry the cooked noodles for a few minutes. Set it aside.

Using the same pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the remaining crushed garlic and half of the sliced scallion (spring onion) until fragrant.

Add the beef and stir-fry until it is thoroughly cooked. It takes approximately 2-3 minutes as they are small slices.

Next, add the flat rice noodles and pour the sweet soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir until everything is mixed and nicely coated with the seasoning sauces.

Then add the bean sprouts, coarse black pepper, and salt. Stir until all is mixed.

Sprinkle the remaining sliced scallion. If you use chili flakes, you can sprinkle them towards the end just before serving.
