Mongolian Ginger Beef


Prep time: 7 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes

INGREDIENTS - MEAT

  • 1 pound of sliced beef (your preferred cut)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch/cornflour
  • Oil, for deep frying

INGREDIENTS - SAUCE

  • 2 TBSP cooking oil
  • 2 TBSP finely chopped ginger
  • 1 TBSP finely chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 TSP hoisin sauce 
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 TSP cornstarch, diluted in 3 TSP water
  • 1 TSP red chili flakes (optional)
  • 3 spring onions chopped into 1 inch lengths
  • 1 spring onion for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Toss the beef strips in the cornstarch. Make sure the strips are coated evenly.
  2. In a deep fat fryer fry the beef strips for 1 minute on the highest setting. Evenly distribute the meat in one layer before putting it in the fryer so it doesn't stick together. We did it in 3 batches (only added 2 minutes to the cooking time).
  3. In a saute pan, heat oil at high heat. Quickly add in the ginger and garlic for 15 seconds then add the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar and hoisin sauce. Bring it to the boil.
  4. When boiling add in the brown sugar and cornstarch/water mix. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Now add in the beef strips and let cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the green onions and cook for an additional minute.
  7. Serve hot with rice and garnish with the final sliced spring onion.

Smokey Sweet Potato Fries

Prep time: 7 minutes Cooking time:   6-8 minutes per batch INGREDIENTS 2 lbs sweet potatoes cut into thin fries 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 cup cornstarch 3/4 cup water. Vegetable oil for your deep fat fryer INSTRUCTION Heat your deep fat fryer to 190C. Cut your potatoes into thin fries. Mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Mix the cornstarch and water . Dip the fries into the cornstarch/water mix to thoroughly coat then allow the residue to drip off them. Move them to the fryer, you may need to do this in two batches as you don't want to overfill the fryer in case they all stick together. Fry each batch for 6-8 minutes until crispy, stirring them when needed to avoid them sticking together. After each batch is done, place them on kitchen towel and dust them with the paprika mix. Enjoy!! :)
