The recipe is:
500g beef, cut into thin strips (i just bought the prepacked thing from Coles)
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 teaspoons corn flour
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cracked pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 onion, halved and cut into wedges
3-4 garlic cloves (i used 2 big, 2 little)
1/3 cup spring onion, sliced
1 bunch Broccolini, cut in 4-5cm bits
200ml Masson beef style stock (its a beef flavoured vegie stock that comes in a cube)
2 tablespoons Kecap Manis (Sweet soy sauce)
Steamed or fried rice to serve
directions below (copied from taste website, i altered the recipe slightly to suit what was in my pantry)
- Combine the beef, soy sauce, cornflour, sesame oil and pepper in a large bowl.
- Heat 3 teaspoons of the peanut oil in a wok over high heat until just smoking. Add half the beef mixture and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until brown. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with 3 teaspoons of the remaining oil and the remaining beef mixture, reheating wok between batches.
- Heat the remaining oil in the wok over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and half the chives and stir-fry for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add broccolini and stock and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until broccolini is bright green and tender crisp.
- Return beef to the wok along with the kecap manis and remaining chives and stir-fry for 1 minute or until mixture boils and thickens. Serve with steamed rice.
My fried rice is basically steamed rice, bacon, egg and spring onion fried up with kecap manis. It's yummy as!!!!
Here is the end result
Hubby went back for seconds (Which he NEVER does, esp with stir fry meals or anything that involves rice). I told this kids "that is one of the better meals mummy has cooked, so you need to eat it" and Hubby yelled out "No." I walked out confused and he told me it was the best meal i have ever cooked and we need to have it again!
So you can expect to see this one in the meal plan again. I was disappointed there wasn't any left for lunch tomorrow!
Hope you all had a great weekend! I'm off to watch Oceans 13 x
