        "Make the sauce",
        "In a bowl, combine the water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar and white pepper. Stir to dissolve the cornstarch and sugar.",
        "Cook the broccoli and the noodles",
        "Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to a colander and rinse with cold running water to stop the cooking.",
        "Return the water to a boil, add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain the noodles and toss with 1 Tbs. of the corn oil. Transfer to a large bowl or platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.",
        "Stir-fry the beef and broccoli",
        "Heat a wok or large fry pan over high heat until very hot and pour in the remaining 2 Tbs. corn oil. Add the ginger and stir-fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. Using the slotted spoon, scoop out and discard the ginger. Add the beef to the seasoned oil and stir-fry until just browned, about 2 minutes. Using the slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a bowl.",
        "Return the wok to high heat, add the sauce and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Return the beef to the wok, add the broccoli and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Spoon over the noodles and serve immediately. Serves 4.",
