Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef or pork
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 2 stalks spring onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground meat to the wok, break it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, ensuring the meat is evenly coated, and then sprinkle in the salt and pepper.
Push the meat to one side of the wok and add the red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets to the cleared space.
Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Mix the meat with the vegetables, then pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
Drizzle sesame oil over the top and toss to combine evenly.
Finally, add the sliced spring onions and give a brief stir-fry to mix them in.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried minced meat and vegetables to a serving dish.
Serve hot, optionally with steamed rice or noodles.
