Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 500 grams minced meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (ensure it's dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon chili paste or chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced meat to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet with the meat. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Incorporate the sliced bell peppers and julienned carrot into the stir-fry. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste (if using), and water. Mix well to create a sauce.
Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a little water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Stir the mixture to thicken the sauce, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve the dairy-free minced meat stir-fry hot over rice or noodles, as desired.
