Stir-Fried Cress and Beef: A Homestyle Delight
Ingredients:
- 100 grams of cress (keciwis)
- 100 grams of thinly sliced beef
- 5 slices of red onion
- 3 slices of garlic
- 7 slices of red chili peppers
- 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- Salt, to taste
- 1 sachet of Diabetasol (a sugar substitute)
- A small amount of water
Instructions:
-
Cook the Beef: Begin by stir-frying the thinly sliced beef in a hot pan until it changes color. This will give the beef a savory depth and a slightly caramelized edge.
-
Add Aromatics: Once the beef is cooked through, add the sliced red onion, garlic, and red chili peppers to the pan. Stir-fry until the mixture becomes fragrant, infusing the beef with the aromatic flavors of the onion and garlic, and a hint of heat from the chili peppers.
-
Season the Dish: Pour in a small amount of water to create a bit of sauce. Season the dish with salt to taste and add the Diabetasol for a touch of sweetness without the sugar. Stir in the oyster sauce, which will add a rich umami flavor and depth to the dish.
-
Adjust the Flavor: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed. The combination of salt, sweet, and savory flavors should balance nicely.
-
Incorporate the Cress: Add the cress to the pan. Stir gently until the leaves are just wilted. This step should be quick to preserve the fresh, slightly tangy taste of the cress.
-
Serve: Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the stir-fried cress and beef to a serving dish. Enjoy the dish warm for the best flavor and texture.
This dish offers a delightful combination of tender beef, fragrant spices, and the crisp freshness of cress, making it a flavorful and satisfying meal. Perfect for a quick yet delicious dinner!
