6. Chinese Beef in Black Bean Sauce

Main course material: 1 lb beef
Spices: 1 tsp potato flour
6 TBS water
5 TBS peanut oil or corn oil
8 oz green pepper
5 cloves garlic (chopped fine)
Salt
4 spring onions (white & green separated)
2 1/2 TBS fermented black beans, rinsed and mashed
with 1/4 tsp sugar and 1 tsp oil
1 tbl Shaosing wine or medium dry sherry

Marinade:

1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
2 tsp thick soy sauce
8 turns of black pepper mill
1 1/2 tsp potato flour
2 TBS Shaosing wine or medium dry sherry
3 TBS water
1 tsp peanut oil or corn oil
1 tsp sesame oil

Equipment: PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves.
Preparation:
  • Cut the beef across the grain into rectangular slices about 1" by 1-1/2" and 1/4" thick.
  • Put into a fairly large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the marinade: add the salt, sugar, soy sauce, pepper, and wine or sherry to the meat.
  • Sprinkle with the potato flour and add the water,
    1 TBS at a time, stirring (recommend chopsticks
    for this) until it's difficult to continue before
    adding another spoonful.
  • This process will make the beef the beef velvety and tender.
  • Refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes.
  • After removing, blend in the oils (try and remember
    this bit, it's easy to forget).
  • Mix 1 tsp of potato flour and 6 tbl water together
    in a small bowl and set aside.
Cook:
  • Heat a wok (or frying pan) until hot.
  • Add 1 TBS oil and swirl it around.
  • Add the green pepper (if used) or onion, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, lowering the heat if the pieces begin to burn.
  • Season with salt to taste and remove to a warm plate.
  • Reheat the wok/frying pan over high heat until smoke rises.
  • Add the remaining 4 tbl oil and swirl it around.
  • Add the garlic, and as soon as it starts to colour, add the white spring onions and stir.
  • Add the black bean paste and stir.
  • Lob in the beef.
  • Stir and toss vigorously for 1 or 2 minutes, or until
    the beef is partially done.
  • Splash in the wine or sherry around the side of the wok, continuing to turn and toss until the sizzling dies down.
  • Still stirring, pour in the well-stirred dissolved potato flour, add the green pepper/onion and spring onions and mix until the thickening has cooked.
  • Transfer to a warm serving plate and serve immediately.
Cautions: Serves 4
Effect: This is one of my all-time favorite Chinese dishes. I don't care for green peppers, so I always substitute a similar amount of roughly sliced onions. It's best when just made, of course, but it does reheat fairly well.

Oh, and I know the amount of garlic looks absolutely horrendous, but they're so roasted that they don't actually knock down elephants at forty paces (honest!).

7. Kheema an-Bhugi (Ground Beef and Lettuce Curry)

Main course material: 1/2 lb. ground beef
Spices: 1 small onion (chopped)
1 small lettuce
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1/2 TBS ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground chilies
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground fenugreek*
*If you can't find any ground fenugreek, don't worry. It'll be fine without it.
Equipment: PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves.
Preparation: Assemble the spices in a bowl.
Cook:
  • Heat a little oil or ghee in a pan until hot, then lightly fry the garlic and onion.
  • Once the onion becomes translucent, add the spices and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes more.
  • Add the meat, a little water to moisten, and cook.
  • Salt to taste, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Check the seasonings, then add a small lettuce, roughly shredded by hand.
  • Don't try to stir it in, just shred it into the top of the pan, cover and allow to wilt for about 5 minutes.
  • Immediately before serving, stir the pan to mix the lettuce and meat and serve with steamed basmati rice.
  • Another optional touch, is to add hard boiled eggs at the same time as the lettuce. Allow one per person.
Cautions: Serves 4
Effect: This may seem like an odd combination, but the addition of wilted lettuce brings a cool crunch to this quickly-made curry.

8. TOFU AND LEEK STIR-FRY WITH GROUND BEEF*

Main course material:

2 baby leeks (1/2 lb total; white and pale green parts only), cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices
10 oz soft or firm tofu (not silken or extra-firm), drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/4 lb ground beef

Spices: 1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon Chinese chili bean sauce or paste
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mild pure chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Chinese fermented black beans, soaked in water 10 minutes and drained
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon potato starch or cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water
Accompaniment: white rice
Equipment: PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves.
Preparation:
  • Garnish: 1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, toasted and ground with a mortar and pestle.
  • Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well.
  • Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon salt in 2 cups hot water in a medium bowl, and add tofu.
  • Soak 5 minutes, then drain in a sieve.
Cook:
  • Heat a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately.
  • Add oil, swirling wok to coat, and heat until it begins to smoke. Add beef and stir-fry, breaking up lumps, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in wine and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and stir-fry 30 seconds.
  • Add chili bean sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
  • Add ginger, chili powder, and black beans and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add broth, remaining 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, and tofu, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring gently, about 2 minutes.
  • Add leeks and simmer, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir potato starch mixture and add to tofu, then cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about
    1 minute.
  • Makes 2 main-course servings.
Cautions: Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 30 min
Effect: Sichuan peppercorns are officially banned from import because they come from a plant that is susceptible to citrus canker. Although there's no substitute for their woodsy citrus flavor, the recipe is delicious without them.

A Cook from Tampa on 06/28/03
I agree with the suggestions made by the Cook from Brooklyn...increasing the amount of bean sauce, soy sauce,
and the heat factor. I used a Szechwan seasoning available
from McCormick. Our local Publix (where shopping is a
challenge) has decided not to carry leeks, so I used green
onions instead. My Fair Maiden said she thought the green
onions worked just fine since she is not fond of leeks
anyway. According to the FM, this is a "have again."

A Cook from Brooklyn, NY on 05/27/03
This is a really great recipe for Ma Po Tofu flavor-wise, but I think it goes a little too easy on the chili and soy sauces. I would increase the amount of chili bean paste (do-ban jiang) and soy sauce to at least a tablespoon each, and since Ma Po Tofu is supposed to be mouth-searingly spicy, I'd throw a whole dried red chili (or two) in there too.

Preparation:
  • Combine first 6 ingredients; stir until well blended, and set aside.
  • Trim fat from steak. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into 1" thick slices. Cut slices into thin strips. (much quicker to use pre-cut beef).

Effect: It took me awhile but once I perfected this recipe it tastes exactly like the restaurant version. Make sure you have all ingredients ready to add because the cooking moves along very quickly! It's best to start rice before you start cooking the beef and broccoli everything should be finished at approx. the same time.

Cautions:
Effect: The famous dish consisting of marinated beef deep-fried in batter and coated with a sweet and sour sauce is a staple of Chinese restaurants.

However, it is very difficult to trace the origins of this popular recipe.

Does the ginger beef represent true Chinese cuisine?

For that matter, is ginger beef - no matter how it's prepared - an authentic Chinese
dish? A search through several Chinese cookbooks quickly reveals that the idea of marrying beef with ginger is nothing new.

For example, in the book Ginger East to West, Bruce Cost provides a recipe for
"Real Ginger Beef" that is quite different from the typical restaurant version, using a full cup of ginger and two cups of fresh coriander leaves.

In Joy of Woking, Martin Yan has a recipe for "Spicy Ginger Beef" seasoned with five spice powder.

Finally, Madame Wong's Long-Life Chinese Cookbook contains a ginger beef recipe that uses preserved red ginger and red pepper, with a sauce made from chicken stock, cornstarch, hoisin sauce and dark soy sauce.

In fact, ginger beef is based on a northern Chinese dish that is much drier and less sweet than the restaurant version.

Although his name is lost to history, it is thought that a Chinese chef working
in Calgary came up with the crunchy "Americanized" ginger beef with the sweet
sauce that is so popular in Alberta, Canada.

Even today, it is difficult, although not impossible, to find Alberta-style ginger beef outside the province.

But whatever its origins, ginger beef is a great way to introduce people to Chinese food. And, while definitely not a dish for calorie-counters, it has the advantage of
containing healthy ingredients such as ginger - thought to help cure colds.

Tips for Making Alberta-Style Ginger Beef: To make it extra crispy, deep-fry the beef twice.

This technique is often used in restaurants: staff prepare a batch of ginger beef and set it aside.

When a customer places an order, a portion is deep-fried again.

To make the ginger beef extra tender, use only cornstarch for the batter (instead of half cornstarch and half flour).

Don't put all of the meat in the wok at once - that will lower the wok temperature.

Start with adding about 1/4 of the meat mixture. (If you're new to deep-frying, I have a page of deep-frying tips.)

Mix the batter thoroughly. Test with chopsticks or a wooden spoon - it should just drop without sticking."

13. Waterfall Beef, "Neua Yang Nam Tok*

Main course material: You need a 1 pound steak, cut fairly thick.
Spices: Marinade

1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tsp tamarind concentrate mixed with 3 tsp water
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped Thai chili peppers

Remaining ingredients

1/3 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup lime juice
2-3 TBS chopped shallots
2-3 TBS chopped coriander/cilantro (including the roots if possible)
2-3 TBS chopped mint leaves
2 TBS khao koor (see below)
1 TBS freshly roasted/fried sesame seeds
1-3 tsp freshly ground dried red chilis.

Equipment: PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves
Preparation:
  • Mix the marinade, coat the steak with it and marinate it for at least 3 hours.
  • The steak is then barbequed, broiled or grilled until on the rare side of medium rare, cut into half-inch thick strips and the strips cut into bite sized pieces.
Cook:
  • ~~ Khao Koor:

    Get a medium-sized wok fairly hot, and add a couple of tablespoons of uncooked rice.

    Keep in movement until the rice starts to turn golden brown.

    Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

    Grind to a fairly coarse powder in a spice mill, or a mortar & pestle, or
    a pepper mill or a good clean coffee grinder (all of these work well but
    keep in mind that a coffee grinder tends to grind too fine--the powder
    should retain some "texture").

  • Method
    In a wok, bring a little oil to medium-high heat and add the strips of beef, immediately followed by all the remaining ingredients.
    Stir fry until heated through (about a minute).
    Serve with Thai sticky rice, or as part of a meal with pad Thai and a soup such as tom yum koong (hot and sour shrimp soup).

23. Green Curry Beef (Gang Keo Wan)*
Main course material: 250g (1/2lb) meat (chicken fillet, beef, pork), cut into slices
Spices:
  • 2 T curry paste (more for very advanced eaters) 
  • 400ml coconut milk (get a good Thai brand, not Indonesian or Malay) 
  • 20 ml vegetable oil  
  • 200ml chicken stock (must be as clear as possible. Home made preferred. Best done by simmering chicken wings, carcase, etc with ginger, then defatting in the usual way.) 
  • 1 T white palm sugar 
  • 2 T fish sauce (a little less if you want to reduce salt taste) 
  • 1/2 cup French/green beans cut into 2 cm pieces 
  • 1/2 cup (15 - 20 leaves) Thai basil 
  • 3 or 4 Kaffir lime leaves (remove stems and dice finely) 
  • some (a handful) miniature egg plant. These are small green things roughly the size of acorns.
Equipment: PowerFlamer Outdoor Stir Fry Stoves.
Preparation:  
Cook:
  • Heat oil and saute paste until 'fragrant'. Start with hot oil then turn down and saute gently until 'just done'. 
  • Add coconut milk in three stages. (Hint: don't shake the tin before opening. The thick cream at the top mixes more easily with the thick paste and prevents lumps.) Start with some of the cream. Stir and bring each stage to the boil. 
  • Turn to high heat and, when boiling, add chicken stock. Add meat and boil (simmer) for 5 minutes for chicken - slightly longer for other meats. 
  • Add palm sugar, fish sauce, french beans, other ingredients except basil and cook until vegetables are just cooked.
