Ingredients

Marinade

  • 1 tsp crushed fresh garlic
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ cup dark soy sauce

  • 400 g beef strips
  • 200 g vermicelli noodles
  • 5 Tbsp canola oil
  • 4 tsp crushed fresh garlic
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ cabbage, finely sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • ½ cup dark soy sauce

Method

  1. Mix together the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the beef strips, cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

  3. Heat a large frypan over high heat, add 2 tbsp oil and quickly fry the beef until just brown. Transfer to a bowl.
  4. Add the remaining 3 tbsp oil to the frypan. When hot, add the garlic, ginger, cabbage and onion and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the vermicelli to the frypan, mix through, then add the meat, carrot, soy sauce and reserved water and mix well.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve with steamed rice.

Has become a staple in our house. The kids love it, and the recipe is really forgiving for substitutions with whatever veges you have laying around.

It tastes good. If you want to make it vegan then add a different protein or if adding no protein and just removing the beef, add less soy sauce and be careful with the saltiness
