A spicy dish that will clear your sinuses and warm your soul. I really like this dish with pork, but it’ll work with the beef. I used shaved steak, but any beef is fine if it’s sliced thin.

Cooking Instructions

25 minutes
  1. 1

    Get your veggies in order. (The asparagus was a side dish. Disregard that). Season your meat with the spices, a clove of garlic and a 2 count of chilli oil. Go easy on the 5 spice, it can be overwhelming. A couple shakes goes a long way.

  2. 2

    Bust out the Nian Gao and get some water boiling. Get a good handful and separate them so they’re not stuck together when boiling. You’re going to add that to the boiling water when you start stir frying your veggies.

  3. 3

    Get some canola oil in your pan and add in the garlic, onion and peppers. Heat the veggies with a little salt and pepper. Once they’re good and fragrant, which will be fast, add in the beef. Let that cook for a minute and add a touch of soy sauce. By now, the nian gao should be floating. Add it into your pan and mix well.

  4. 4

    Take a couple ladles of the nian gao water and add it into the stir fry. Mix. Add dissolved cornstarch and water to it and mix until the liquid has thickened.

  5. 5

    Top with green onions and a little chilli oil. Serve with rice and your choice of sides.
