Beef Chao Fan
Beef Chao Fan is a Chinese inspired Filipino rice dish that is extremely popular in Filipino fast food restaurants. It's an interesting way to utilise beef mince in a slightly different way and also the perfect recipe to use up those vegetables in the bottom of your fridge that need a good home. High in protein, quick and totally delicious. FYI, add our Vegan Sui Gyoza into your basket if you are looking for a way to use up the remaining half of your sweetheart cabbage.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
The key to any stir fry is to have all your ingredients prepared ahead of cooking so, with that in mind, chop the **red onions into 1cm dice ** and the carrots into 1 cm dice. Slice the sweetheart cabbage roughly, slice the spring onions and drain the sweetcorn.
Step 2
Place a wok or large, deep frying pan onto a high heat and add half the vegetable oil. Once hot, crack the eggs into the hot oil and stir fry until they scramble. Remove the cooked eggs from the wok or pan and set to one side.
Step 3
Add the remaining oil to the pan and add the chopped red onions and carrots. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes before adding in the beef mince. Break the mince up using a wooden spoon or spatula and stir fry on a high heat until well browned all over. This will take about 5-6 minutes and the heat should always be high to make sure the meat is frying rather than boiling.
Step 4
Add the ginger and garlic paste, soy sauce and the oyster sauce and mix well. If you'd like some heat, add a splash of Sriracha as well at this point. Now it's time to add the shredded sweetheart cabbage, drained sweetcorn and sliced spring onions along with the packets of cooked rice and the cooked eggs. Stir-Fry for 3-4 minutes on a high heat until all the ingredients are heated through and well combined. Serve while piping hot with a drizzle of Sriracha if you wish.
