Kind of Chinese.

[Steve H]

Morning folks!
Last night we had a hankering for Chinese cuisine. So, I took out a couple packs of stew meat.

Cut it up. And start velveting it while getting the other items started.
Cut up some broccoli. Grated some ginger.
After 45 minutes. Rinsed the beef well. And patted dry.
Got the CI wok hot. Added some oil. Put in the ginger and let it cook for a minute. Then added the beef.
Went and steamed the broccoli. And cooled down with cold water.
After the beef got happy. I added some thin cut carrots and straw mushrooms.
Let cook for 5 minutes to soften the carrots and get the mushrooms hot.
Then added a slurry of soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, rice wine vinegar, cup of water. And 1 tbs of cornstarch.
Heated until thickened and incorporated.
Added broccoli. Cooked a couple minutes.
And plated over rice.

The broccoli softened a touch more than I wanted. But still pretty darn tasty.

I bet that was good . I like broccoli flavor , but not the texture . So I sub in green beans , or I really like it with brussel sprouts .
Nice wok and methods .

 

[Parshooter]

Looks great (except for the mushroom). Have you tried Sichuan peppercorns ? Game changer. Use it in almost all my Asian cookings.

Lol! Thanks David!

Thanks! I prefer the broccoli firmer then it came out. I've had this with beans before. Fresh steamed. And it was very good. Never thought about brussel sprouts. Interesting.

Thank you! Yes. I have. But I was out. You do yours finely ground? Or cracked?

That looks really good (I'll pass on the fish oil, though)! I'm overdue for a wok cook.
I'm interested in the C.I. wok. Where did you get it? How big is it? How are you heating it (stove-top or grill)?

Thank you! This is a Lodge 14"cast iron wok. I got it from the military Exchange at a great price. You can find it elsewhere. Though Lodge has it on sale for as good price.

Fish sauce works well to get the umami profile going. With the portion I made. I only used 2 tsp of it. Not noticeable as a "fish" flavor. Or smell. I corrected my recipe. I said fish oil. I meant fish sauce.

Checked the link and of course now I want one......
I'm wondering, though, if it would work on a ceramic top electric range. I have one for outside use but I'm looking for something I can use in the house.
