DRY FRIED BEEF HOR FUN

DRY FRIED BEEF HOR FUN


This beef hor fun is commonly found in most Hong Kong style char chan teng. They usually use a cheap cut of beef and tenderize it with baking soda. But since I'm doing this at home, I'm using a good cut of beef without any baking soda. The beef is still tender, without the chemical taste of baking soda. I usually add the sauces to the kuay teow before it enters the wok. This is to prevent the kuay teow from breaking up while trying to mix the sauces in it in the wok. I also use oil rendered from beef fat as it brings out more of the beef flavour in the dish. If u don't have that, normal cooking oil will do.......

These are what u need........




Ingredients


Kuay teow for one 

2 tablespoons beef oil

150g beef slices

1 tablespoon minced garlic

4 slices ginger

3 teaspoons Oyster sauce

2 teaspoons sesame seed oil

4 teaspoons light soy sauce

2 teaspoons dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine 

Some bean sprouts

Some spring onions

Some shredded carrots 

2 teaspoons corn starch


Method 

Make sure u have everything prepared and within reach. This is really fast to cook, so u want to be prepared.



Marinade the beef with 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, Chinese wine and sesame seed oil. Mix it all up and add the corn starch 


Mix the remaining sauces into the kway teow. This is to prevent it from breaking up if u stir to mix the sauces in the wok. We want nice strands of kway teow, not broken up bits 



In a hot wok, put in the beef oil and cook the ginger till fragrant



Add the garlic and cook till almost golden brown




Now it's time to add the hor fun.... Cook it for a minute on high heat 




Now add the beef. This takes next to no time at all to be cooked 




Time to put in the spring onions and bean sprouts, toss it around for 15secs and it's done!



Plate it and it's ready to serve. A simple, quick to cook and tasty meal for one! Time for me to enjoy this! Try it, you will too! 


Enjoy, and stay safe!



These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
