Stir Fry Beef with Broccolini

Why is my recipe better? Broccolini is a combination of Chinese gai lan and broccoli which has milder, sweeter flavor and a more tender texture. I like to use sirloin even though it's a bit more expensive but it’s worthwhile for a great dish!

Ingredients

Main ingredients:

12 oz beef (tenderloin is preferred)
1 bunch of broccolini
3-4 ginger pieces
2 stalks of scallions (cut into 1-inch)
1 garlic gloves
1 tbsp soy sauce

Beef Seasoning

1 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tbsp corn starch
1/2 tsp baking soda

Sauce

1/3 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp corn starch
1/2 tsp of sesame oil

Instructions

Wash the broccolini and cut it into 3-4 inch sections. Add garlic to 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and cook broccolini until fully cooked, add a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Add a little bit of cooking wine and sugar to remove bitterness.
