GEYLANG LORONG 9 BEEF KWAY TEOW


 This is one of those things my dad and I love to eat. Sometimes we'll go there to eat, and waht a treat it was!Over the years the standard has dropped, and this is my take on the popular Geylang Lorong 9 beef kway teow


Ingredients



1 portion kway teow

1 portion beef slices

A quarter big onion

2.5cm ginger, sliced

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon black bean paste

Corn flour

Oyster sauce

Dark soy sauce

Chinese rice wine

Light soy sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon sesame seed oil

water


Method



Use the most tender cut of beef u can get, slice it and marinade with 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame seed oil and chinese wine

Mix the kway teow with 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce and sesame seed oil

In a smoking hot wok add some oil and fry the kway teow till it's slightly charred, and then plate it




Now in that same hot pan, cook the beef till it's half done and put it aside

In that same wok, put some oil and fry the ginger and onions till aromatic

Add minced garlic, black bean paste, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce,2 teaspoons oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce and 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil

Use 2 teaspoons of corn starch, mix it with a little water till there are no lumps and pour it in to thicken the gravy

Once the gravy thickens, pour it over the beef and kway teow and it's ready to serve

I usually use oil that I render from beef fat for this as it gives the dish a better beef flavour. You can use any kind of oil if u don't have beef oil. I also use the best beef cuts i can get because i don't like the texture of beef tenderized by baking soda



Just look at that! It's me just about to eat into a delicious Geylang inspired beef kway teow. It could be u too! So what are u waiting for? Try making it! 

Enjoy everyone, 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.
