- Cook the noodles in boiling, salted water for 5-6 minutes.
- Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side in a very hot pan.
- Sweat the shallots, garlic and ginger using a small amount of oil.
- When the steak is cooked, rest it on the side in a warm place.
- Drain the noodles and add to the shallots along with a small amount of the cooking water.
- Wilt the choy sum in the steak pan, cooking them about 70% of the way through so the stems stay nice and firm.
- Cover the steak in the kecap manis and sprinkle with salt, returning to the pan for 20 seconds to reheat and absorb the flavour of the sauce.
- Plate the noodles topped with the steak, and sprinkle with the coriander and sesame seeds.
