First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Pot
Rice Cooker (Optional)
Wok or Fry Pan
Small Saucepan

Step 1

1 Cook Rice & Prepare Ingredients

In a pot, bring 1 1⁄2 cup water and rice to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Keep pot covered and let the rice absorb the water off the heat. Fluff the finished rice with a fork. Peel and mince garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the spring onion.

Step 2

2 Prepare Sauce

Heat 2 Tsp oil in a small saucepan over low to medium heat. Add 12 of the ginger and garlic to the pan and quickly add the soy sauce and 14 cup water before the garlic scorches. Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then raise the heat to about medium. Boil the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add more water if the sauce is too thick.

Step 3

3 Prepare Steak & Greens

Pat steak dry with paper towel. Slice steak against the grain into 12 cm thick bite-size slices. Dust steak in cornflour to apply a very thin coating to each piece of beef. Allow beef to sit for 5 minutes so the cornflour sticks. Meanwhile, cut baby choy sum stems into 12-1 cm slices, and leaves into 2 cm pieces. De-string sugar snow peas.

Step 4

4 Cook Beef

Heat oil in a wok, high sided pan or pot. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the beef to the oil and sauté for 2 minutes or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. Stir the meat so that it cooks evenly. Set aside the cooked beef.

Step 5

5 Cook Greens

Put the pan back over the heat, add the vegetables, remaining ginger, garlic and spring onion, cook until stems are bright green, about 2-4 minutes more. Add the sauce and beef to the wok and for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6
