Trust me when I say that it's so easy to make asian-inspired dishes at home. For years I thought there must be secret ingredients to asian food that I probably wouldn't be able to acquire. Not so! You probably already have everything in your pantry! That means there is no need to go for take-out, and as a bonus, you always know what's in it. Unless you enjoy that MSG buzz, but that's all you. :)
This recipe is so good. My husband keeps talking about it days later. I believe I'm going to have to add this to the menu again for next week!
Beef with Snow Peas
½ cups Soy Sauce
3 Tablespoons Sherry Or Cooking Sherry
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger
8 ounces, Fresh Snow Peas, Ends Trimmed
5 whole Green Onions, Cut Into Quarter-inch Pieces On The Diagonal
3 Tablespoons Peanut Or Olive Oil
Crushed Red Pepper, For Sprinkling
Jasmine Rice, Cooked According To Package
Directions:
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Add sliced meat to bowl and toss. Set aside.
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Add snow peas and stir for 45 seconds. Remove to a separate plate. Set aside.
Allow pan to get very hot again. With tongs, add half the meat mixture, leaving most of the marinade still in the bowl. Add half the scallions. Spread out meat as you add it to pan, but do not stir for a good minute. (You want the meat to get as brown as possible in as short amount a time as possible.) Turn meat to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.
Repeat with other half of meat, allowing pan to get very hot again first. After turning it, add the first plateful of meat, the rest of the marinade, and the snow peas. Stir over high heat for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Check seasonings and add salt only if it needs it. Mixture will thicken as it sits.
Serve immediately over rice. Sprinkle crushed red pepper over the top to give it some spice.
