Shanghai beef
January 7th, 2005. Posted 20:01

The Shanghai beef recipe I found in an old magazine I kept about 10 years ago. Never tried it back then, but when I came across the magazine I thought, why not give it a try! And the result amazed myself! :-)
Some ingredients of this recipe were a bit difficult to translate to English… for example for the sweet soy sauce I just used a pot of stir-fry sauce from a brilliant brand called “Conimex”, but that brand doesn’t seem to exists outside the country :-( So the 250 ml of sweet soy sauce (at the ingredients) to stir through the dish is a bit of a wild guess. But I think it shouldn’t be to hard to figure out how much to put in while making the dish. Just share your thoughts when you find another (winning) combination! :-)

Recipe: Shanghai beef

Serving size: 4 persons
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Tools:
Wok
Wooden spoon

Ingredients:
250 ml babi ketjap (sweet soy sauce) stir-fry sauce
400 gram beefsteak in thin slices
1 chopped garlic clove
1 teaspoon ginger powder (djahé)
250 gram green beans
100 gram mushrooms
1 chopped onion
red pepper in thin slices
100 gram snow peas
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
400 gram white rice

Preparation:
Cut the beef in thin slices. Chop the onion, garlic, pepper and mushrooms. Blanche the green beans and snow peas in boiling water for 3 minutes and cut the green beans into 2-3 centimeter pieces.

Heat the oil in the wok until it's hot. Put the onion, garlic and ginger powder in the wok and stir-fry until the onion is transparent. Put the beef in the wok and stir-fry until the beef is brown. Then stir-fry the green beans, snow peas, pepper and mushrooms for about 4 minutes. Add the sweet soy sauce, stir it through and heat it well. Serve with cooked white rice.

Result:

Why do you think I put down the recipe? Indeed! So I don’t have to cook for you, but you can make it yourself! :-)

But we definitely have to have a cooking session next time I am in Stockholm! Will be great fun!
