Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok to high heat.

Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry for a further 30 seconds. Remove all vegetables from wok, then heat wok to high heat again. 

Add oil to wok, then the noodles and stir-fry for 1 minute until noodles are hot and lightly charred. Remove noodles from wok and set aside.

Heat wok again to high heat, add dash of oil and sliced beef. Allow to brown and caramelise before turning slices of beef over. Cook until just done, then add noodles and vegetables back into wok. Add the light and dark soy, and sesame oil, then stir-fry until noodles are mixed with all ingredients and are a rich mahogany brown colour.
