Crispy Golden Noodle Cake with Savory Beef & Bok Choy

Experience the ultimate texture contrast with a golden, pan-seared noodle cake topped with succulent beef tips and crisp bok choy in a glossy, savory oyster glaze.

This Crispy Chinese Cake Noodle dish is a masterclass in architectural cooking, layering textures and bold, fermented flavors. At its heart is a golden, egg-bound noodle nest—pan-fried until the exterior shatters with a satisfying crunch while the interior remains tender.

Ingredients

The Noodle Cake:

  • Amoy Chow Mein Noodles #340022: 1 package (cooked and drained)
  • Liquid Eggs: 1/2 cup (to bind the cake)
  • Water: 2 tbsp (to thin the egg slightly)
  • Vegetable Oil: 3–4 tbsp (for pan-frying)

The Beef & Toppings:

  • Sandridge Beef Tips with Gravy #471245: 1 lb
  • Amoy Oyster Sauce: 1/3 cup
  • Bok Choy: 2 heads (baby bok choy, quartered)
  • Shredded Carrots: 1/2 cup
  • Pickled Mustard Greens: 1/4 cup (chopped; adds a salty, tangy depth)
  • Scallions: 2 stalks (sliced)
  • Black and White Sesame Seeds: 1 tsp (for garnish)

Directions

Sear the Noodle Cake

  1. The Mix: In a large bowl, whisk the liquid eggs and water. Toss in the cooked Amoy Chow Mein noodles until they are evenly coated.
  2. The Fry: Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the noodles into an even layer to cover the bottom of the pan.
  3. The Crisp: Fry for 4–5 minutes until the bottom is a deep golden brown. Carefully flip the “cake” (add more oil if needed) and crisp the other side.
  4. Serve: Slide the crispy noodle cake onto a large platter.

Stir-Fry the Beef and Veggies

  1. In a hot wok or skillet, sear the beef tips until browned and nearly cooked through.
  2. Add the bok choy, shredded carrots, and pickled mustard greens. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the bok choy is bright green and slightly tender.
  3. The Sauce: Pour in the Amoy Oyster Sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a small splash of water to create a glossy gravy that will soak into the noodles.

The Final Touch

  1. Assembly: Pour the hot beef and vegetable mixture directly over the center of the crispy noodle cake.
  2. Garnish: Top with scallions and a heavy sprinkle of black and white sesame seeds.
