Main Ingredients
- 300g blanched bamboo shoots
- 400g beef (thinly sliced for bulgogi or stir-fry)
- 1 medium onion
- 1/4 medium carrot
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- A small bunch of green onions (for garnish)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s marinate the beef. In a bowl, combine the 400g of beef with 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp cooking wine, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix everything together. This marination step helps to tenderize the beef and enhance its flavor.
Step 2
Now, prepare your vegetables. Slice the onion into strips. Cut the carrot into thin slices, then julienne them. Rinse the 300g of blanched bamboo shoots under running water and drain them well. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 0.5cm thick. (If using pre-blanched bamboo shoots, you can use them directly.)
Step 3
It’s time to stir-fry! Heat 3 Tbsp of cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté them until they become fragrant and lightly golden. This process creates delicious scallion-infused oil, adding wonderful depth to your dish.
Step 4
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add the marinated beef to the wok. Stir-fry over medium heat until the beef is browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the beef, as it can become tough.
Step 5
When the beef is mostly cooked, add the prepared bamboo shoots, sliced onion, and julienned carrots to the wok. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly. The key here is to cook the vegetables rapidly to maintain their crisp texture.
Step 6
As the onions and carrots begin to soften slightly and become translucent, add 2 Tbsp of oyster sauce. Pour it around the edges of the wok. Stir-fry everything together for another minute to ensure the oyster sauce coats all the ingredients evenly and infuses them with its savory flavor.
Step 7
Finally, taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with a little salt if needed, as the oyster sauce already provides saltiness. Once everything is well combined and glossy, remove from heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a beautiful garnish and a final touch of flavor. Your delicious Beef and Bamboo Shoot Stir-Fry is ready to enjoy!
