Beef Chow MeinBeef Chow Mein is a fun dish because the rules that apply to chow mein are very loose and you can substitute ingredients to suit your taste. It is also a very good recipe to use when learning how to cook in a wok. You cannot harm the recipe if you decide to add a few extra vegetables that may be favorites of your family. If any vegetable doesn't work just leave it out next time. That's the way I learned to cook; it may not be scientific but it certainly works for some people. A good tip is never substitute the sunflower and sesame oil for olive oil because olive oil doesn't suit high temperature cooking. All wok cooking is high temperature.
2 tbsp sunflower oil
225g (8oz) Minute steak cut into 1 inch strips
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
2 Carrots, shredded
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Packet of beansprouts
3 tbsp Light soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Sharwood's Pure sesame Oil
250g Egg noodles, cooked and drained
Method:
Cook the noodles as per instructions on packet. Heat the sunflower and sesame oil in a wok. Add the beef and stir fry for 4 minutes, until almost cooked. Add garlic, onion, carrot, and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the beansprouts, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, noodles, and mix well. Heat through and serve. Serves 3 or 4. Enjoy your beef chow mein.
