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 sherryMarinade:
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

| 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!).

| 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. |

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. |

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).

| 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)

| 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.
- Add the basil and stir for 30 secs.
- Serve with lots of steamed rice.
