Tumis Buncis Wortel Beef (Stir-Fried Green Beans, Carrots, and Beef)
Ingredients:
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 250 grams green beans, diagonally cut
- Beef, cut into strips (quantity as desired)
- 1 sweet corn cob, kernels removed
Seasonings:
- 1/4 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 shallots, minced
- 1 large red chili, thinly sliced
- 3 bird’s eye chilies, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon margarine (Blue Band)
- 1 teaspoon mushroom-flavored stock
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Steps:
-
Preparation: Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Wash the carrots thoroughly before peeling and slicing them thinly. Clean the green beans and cut them diagonally. Remove the kernels from the sweet corn cob. Cut the beef into thin strips and set aside.
-
Sautéing the Aromatics: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil and margarine. Once the margarine has melted, add the sliced onion, garlic, shallots, red chili, and bird’s eye chilies. Sauté until the aromatics are fragrant and partially cooked.
-
Adding Vegetables and Beef: Start by adding the carrots to the pan, followed by the beef strips. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the beef starts to brown and the carrots begin to soften. Next, add the sweet corn kernels and finally the green beans.
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle in the mushroom-flavored stock and add the oyster sauce. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the seasonings. Adjust the taste with a pinch of salt if needed.
-
Final Touches: Continue stir-frying the mixture until all the vegetables are cooked to your desired level of tenderness. For a crunchy texture, it’s best to not overcook the vegetables. Once everything is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat.
-
Serving: Serve the stir-fried green beans, carrots, and beef hot as a main dish or as a side to complement your meal. Enjoy the delightful combination of tender beef and crisp vegetables, perfectly seasoned with savory aromatics.
