Tips
If fresh rice noodles are difficult to separate, a quick microwave for about a minute can help loosen them before stir-frying.
Don't overcrowd the wok when cooking the beef; cook in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear.
Be gentle when stirring the rice noodles to prevent them from breaking apart.
