Main Ingredients- 300g Beef Brisket (thinly sliced)
- 100g Fresh Bean Sprouts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh bean sprouts under running water several times to remove any dirt or debris. After washing, drain them well in a colander to ensure they are as dry as possible, which will help prevent excess moisture during stir-frying.
Step 2
This is a crucial step! Heat a dry frying pan over medium-low heat without adding any oil. Once the pan is sufficiently preheated, add the thinly sliced beef brisket. Cook it gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden brown and slightly crispy. The fat from the brisket will start to render out naturally.
Step 3
Remove the nicely browned beef brisket from the pan and set it aside on a separate plate. Do not discard the rendered fat left in the pan! This savory oil is the secret ingredient that will add incredible flavor to your bean sprout stir-fry.
Step 4
Into the same pan with the reserved brisket fat, add all the drained bean sprouts. Stir-fry them over high heat for a short time. Bean sprouts cook very quickly and continue to cook from residual heat, so avoid overcooking to maintain their crisp texture. Stir-frying for too long will release water and make them limp.
Step 5
As soon as the bean sprouts begin to soften slightly and lose their stiffness, it’s time to season. Add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce for a rich, umami flavor.
Step 6
Next, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to balance the overall seasoning.
Step 7
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Quickly toss everything together to evenly coat the bean sprouts with the seasonings. Keep the heat on high and stir-fry rapidly to preserve the crispness of the sprouts.
Step 8
Now, return the reserved beef brisket to the pan. Gently stir-fry for another moment to combine the brisket with the seasoned bean sprouts. The reason for seasoning the bean sprouts separately before adding the brisket is to ensure that the sprouts absorb flavor without becoming overly salty. If both are cooked together from the start, the sprouts may not absorb the seasoning well, while the brisket might become too salty.
Step 9
For the final touch, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over the stir-fry to add a wonderful aroma and visual appeal. Your delicious Beef Brisket and Bean Sprout Stir-fry is now complete!
Step 10
Serve it over warm rice for a satisfying meal, or enjoy it with a cold beer as a delightful appetizer. Enjoy your meal!
