Peel and mince garlic and ginger. Slice spring onion. Heat oil in a small saucepan over low to medium heat. Add 1⁄2 of ginger and garlic to the pan and quickly add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water. Dissolve brown sugar in the sauce, then raise the heat to medium. Boil the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add more water if the sauce is too thick
Pat steak dry with paper towel. Slice steak against the grain into 1⁄2 cm thick bite-size slices. Dust steak in cornflour to apply a very thin coating to each piece of beef. Allow beef to sit for 5 minutes so the cornflour sticks. Meanwhile, cut choy sum stems into 1⁄2-1 cm slices, and leaves into 2 cm pieces. De-string snow peas .
Place hokkien noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let the noodles sit in the water for 3-5 minutes. Gently separate the noodles. Once the noodles are separated, drain and rinse with cold water. Coat noodles in sesame oil and set aside.
Heat a generous drizzle of oil in a wok, high sided pan or pot. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the beef to the oil and sauté for 2 minutes or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. Stir the meat so that it cooks evenly. Set aside the cooked beef .
Put the pan back over the heat, add the choy sum stems, remaining ginger, garlic, sugar snap peas and spring onion, cook until stems are bright green, about 2-4 minutes more. Add the sauce, choy sum leaves, noodles and beef to the wok. Cook for 1-2 minutes tossing frequently until all ingredients are well coated in sauce.
