Stir-fried Beef with Ginger and Onions (Bò Xào Gừng và Hành Tây) which is one of Vietnamese food;
is my very first foray into stir frying beef. After taking inspiration
from cooking series on television, I proceeded to the supermarket,
bought myself some beef flank slices, spring onions and ginger and did
this. As I did not memories her recipe, I more or less guessed the
seasoning involved. There was an added bit of anxiety as we had two
friends over for dinner and I was going to serve them something I am
cooking for the first time.
Before you cook this,
you need to consider some hint. Some of the beef flank slices were a
bit chewy – must be the ligaments or tendon or what-not. If you see some
whitish looking “rubber” in the meat, just slice it off. Heat the work
for a while and then adding the oil and fry ginger till aromatic later.
Add
garlic and continue to sauté till beginning to brown. Add beef and
spring onions and stir fry whilst adding seasoning. Stir fry till beef
changes color like above. Finally, you need to add about 2 tablespoons
of corn starch and stir well prior to serving.
If you find this
too dry, add water gradually. If you added too much water, add a bit of
corn starch to thicken the gravy. So you need to be careful when adding
water, you may spoilt all of your efforts by one careless moment.
Now you can serve warm preferably with white rice. On the cold day, especially the winter time this,
is one of my favorite choices. I hope you might like this one and try
to make it after reading this article. Have a good appetite.
