ADD NOODLES TO A LARGE POT of boiling salted water. Stir and when it
reaches a second boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 minute
longer. Drain. Rinse with cold water. Drain thoroughly. Cut meat
against the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices. Mix beef marinade. Add
beef strips and let stand for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix
together oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauces, chicken broth,
sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Preheat a wok. Add 2 tablespoons
of oil, 1 slice of ginger and garlic, and half of the salt; saute
until fragrant. Increase to high heat, add beef; stir-fry until

the wok over medium heat. Add the remaining ginger, garlic and salt.
Pour in sauce mixture, stir and bring to a boil. Add noodles and toss
to coat with the sauce. Add the bean sprouts, chives and return the
beef; stir-fry. Pick out and discard ginger and garlic. ---  From
