Instructions
Prep the ingredients
Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. Slice the king oyster mushroom into similar-sized pieces. Mince the ginger and garlic. Slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts. Have all your ingredients within reach—this dish comes together fast.
Build the base
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the dried red chili (if using), ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until incredibly fragrant—don't let the garlic burn.
Cook the protein and vegetables
Add the king oyster mushroom cubes and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices. Push everything to the side, add the beef cubes, and cook until they lose their raw pink color, about 3-4 minutes. Stir everything together.
Create the sauce
Add the broad bean sauce and soy sauce, tossing to coat the beef and mushrooms. Pour in the water and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything beautifully. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toss and serve
While the sauce is simmering, cook your noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain well, then add directly to the wok. Toss vigorously to coat every strand with that savory sauce. Divide into bowls, garnish with crushed peanuts and the green parts of the scallions. Serve immediately while hot.
