This quick and easy beef chow fun is a take on a classic cantonese dish that's hugely popular in restaurants. Traditional ingredients include beef, hor fun noodles, mung bean sprouts, onion, ginger, and spring onions. In this simplified recipe that's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or simple stir-fry lunch, we use fresh baby corn instead. If you're in a pinch, you can swap in canned baby corn that's been a drain or whatever vegetables you have sitting in the fridge. The star of the dish is the hor fun noodlechewy, fresh wide rice noodles that soak up the flavor of the sauces. Another name for hor fun is shehe fen and it's believed to have been invented in the town of shahe in guangzhou (formerly known as canton), a province southern china. Other countries in asia have noodles similar in shape and texture to hor fun for example, kway teow in malaysia and singapore and ban tiao in taiwan.
