Mum's tip媽媽小貼士
Firm the beef in the freezer for 20 minutes first; it is much easier to slice thinly.Mix the beef with the bicarbonate of soda, light soy, sugar and marinade water until absorbed, then stir in the cornflour and leave to marinate.

Meanwhile boil the noodles in the water until just loose, then drain.
1.5 l Water (for boiling)2 pieces Instant noodles (seasoning sachets not needed)
Mum's tip媽媽小貼士
Boiling the noodles separately gets rid of the oily, waxy coating so the broth stays clean.Bring the chicken stock to the boil. Put the noodles in two bowls, pour over the stock and top with the satay beef.
