Fried Beef in Ginger Sauce

-



This is one of the fried beef variety. I call this recipe fried beef in ginger sauce. It is because there are extra amount of ginger used in it. Ginger is one of the good ingredient to be cooked with beef. Along with garlic and tamarind juice, it creates a flavorful taste in the mouth. 

Before cooking this dish, I boiled the beef for about 1 hour and keep about 2 cups of the broth. This is because the beef is imported frozen beef so it is not tender. If you are using fresh local beef you may skip the boiling process and use beef stock or broth. If you don't want to add the broth or stock it is also okay. Just replace it with water. 


Ready in 20 to 30 minutes (time for beef boiling process is not included)

Ingredients

  • 300 gram beef boiled with 1 teaspoon salt until tender and keep the broth
  • 5 cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 7 dried chili (soaked in hot water for 5 minutes and cut into 1 cm length or blended)
  • Tamarind juice from 1 1/2 tablespoon tamarind
  • 3 inches ginger crush into a coarse paste
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or to taste
  • 1 onion sliced in small wedges shape
  • 1 green paper (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 5 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 cups green cabbages (optional)

Methods

  • Slice the boiled beef thinly and set aside.
  • Add cooking oil in a pan and heat it.
  • Add in garlic and saute until golden.
  • Add in dried chili and ginger. Stir until aromatic.
  • Add in 2 cups beef broth and tamarind juice 
  • Add salt and sugar. 
  • Add in sliced beef. 
  • Cook until broth reduced to syrup consistency.
  • Add in cabbages, onion,green pepper and black pepper powder. 
  • When onion and cabbages become half tender, remove heat. 
  • I think tamarind juice can be replaced by using lime or lemon juice. Add the juice after turning off the stove.

Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe.

Lempeng (lamp-eng) or flat pancake is our regular meal for breakfast. It is easy to make, uses simple ingredients and delicious. The ingredients are all purpose flour, egg, salt, margarine and water. It is cooked in a round and flat shape but usually the texture differs according to personal preference. Some people loves it thick and soft. Some other loves it thin and soft. Some loves the surface to be crunchy but soft in the middle. I prefer the third version of lempeng. Lempeng is usually eaten with granulated sugar, condensed milk and syrups. The basic lempeng is plain in flavor, making it suitable to be eaten with condiments. I like it with curry. It is so delicious when eaten together until I usually add one more piece in my plate. =) Ready in 15 to 30 minutes. For 5 servings Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine Water Methods Mix all the ingredients together except water. It is okay if the marg
