Stir Fried Beef With Sweet And Pungent Radishes Recipes

CRISPY STICKY MONGOLIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the Beef and Marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate for 10 minutes (though you could even leave it overnight).
• Mix the cornstarch with a splash of the water. Then add the remaining Sauce ingredients, including remaining water.
• Add 1/4 cup cornstarch and use your fingers to lightly coat the beef.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok (Note 2) over medium high heat. Add 1/2 the beef and cook the first side for around 45 seconds or until golden and crisp. Then flip (I use an egg flip) and cook the other side for 30 - 45 seconds until golden and crisp. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
• Discard the oil, leaving behind about 1 tablespoon in the wok.
• Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds. Don't let it burn!
• Add the Sauce into the wok. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 1 1/2 minutes or until it thickens into a glossy sticky sauce.
• Add the beef and scallions, toss to coat and cook for a further 30 seconds.
• Serve immediately with rice - or for a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice!

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH SWEET-AND-PUNGENT RADISHES

Steps:

• 1. Slice beef thin against the grain. Combine cornstarch and soy sauce. Add to beef and toss to coat. Slice (but do not peel) radishes. 2. Heat oil. Add beef and stir-fry until it loses its redness. Remove from pan. 3. Add to pan sugar, vinegar and water, and heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Then return beef and stir-fry about 2 minutes more. 4. Add sliced radishes, stir-frying only to heat through. (If left in the pan too long, radishes will lose their color.) Serve at once. The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook. ©1994 by Gloria Bley Miller.
