Main Ingredients- 200g Beef Brisket (thinly sliced)
- 240g Bean Sprouts
- A small amount of Cheongyang chili peppers (optional, for heat)
- 1 Red chili pepper (for color)
- 1.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/3 Green Onion (sliced)
Sauce Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or sugar)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- A pinch of Salt
- A pinch of Black Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide (or sugar)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- A pinch of Salt
- A pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold running water to ensure they are clean and crisp. After rinsing, drain them well in a colander to remove excess water, which will prevent the dish from becoming watery during cooking.
Step 2
Prepare the vegetables that will add flavor and color to the dish. Slice the green onion thinly. If using, thinly slice the red chili pepper and the Cheongyang chili peppers diagonally, or remove the seeds and mince them for a milder heat.
Step 3
With the vegetables prepped, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of oligosaccharide (you can substitute with sugar if you prefer), 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, a pinch of salt for seasoning, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil (like olive oil). Add 1.5 tablespoons of minced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; cooking it slowly will release its aromatic oils.
Step 5
Once the garlic starts to release its aroma, add the sliced green onions to the pan. Sauté them together with the garlic for another minute or so until the green onions are slightly softened and fragrant. This adds a layer of sweetness.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to cook the star of our dish: the beef brisket. Add the 200g of beef brisket to the hot skillet.
Step 7
Begin stir-frying the beef brisket in the pan.
Step 8
To achieve the best texture and appearance, it’s recommended to cook the beef brisket by spreading out the slices rather than crowding them. Cook each side until it’s lightly browned and cooked through. This ensures tenderness and a pleasant bite.
Step 9
When the beef brisket is almost fully cooked, add the prepared bean sprouts to the skillet. Bean sprouts cook very quickly, so adding them towards the end helps maintain their crispness.
Step 10
Pour the prepared oyster sauce mixture into the pan. Since ingredients like bean sprouts release a lot of moisture, it’s best to stir-fry quickly over high heat to prevent them from becoming tough and losing flavor. Toss everything together rapidly to ensure the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.
Step 11
Finally, add the sliced red chili pepper and Cheongyang chili peppers (if using) for a touch of color and heat. Give it one final quick stir, and your delicious Beef Brisket and Bean Sprout Stir-Fry is ready to be enjoyed! Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
