Chef's Tips from Aberdeen Street Social
Noodle Preparation
Don't overcook the noodles initially - they'll finish cooking in the wok. Rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
Beef Slicing
Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness. Partially freezing the beef makes slicing easier.
Wok Technique
Keep ingredients moving constantly in the wok. The high heat and constant motion create the perfect texture.
