Cantonese Black Bean Rice Noodle Stir Fry

This Succulent Black Bean Beef Hor Fun recipe delivers deep savoury flavour from tau si fermented black beans, balanced with oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine and a touch of beer for richness.
Hor fun are wide, flat rice noodles that absorb sauce beautifully. The key technique is separating the noodles gently over high heat before topping them with a medium-wet black
