Directions
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 ¼ 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; sauté until fragrant.
Increase to high heat, add beef; stir-fry until browned, about 2 minutes.
Remove and set aside. Heat remaining oil in 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.
