Stir fry is a quick and easy Chinese dish. Many people can stir fry without any recipes because stir fry sounds like just throwing every in the pan. But that is WRONG… Yes, stir fry is quick and easy to cook but it’s not frying everything together all at once. Many people mistake that and their Stir Fry ended up being very watery or overcooked. That is because they cook in the wrong order. I recommend cooking the protein and vegetables separately because veggies produce water when you cook them in the pan and that will make your dish very watery. Here is my full recipe to cook a perfect Pork and Veggies Stir Fry.

Boneless pork chop
8 ounces
Zucchini
1 cup
Mushroom
1 cup

1 to 2 cups

Make Your Perfect Brunch – Stir-Fried Beef Noodles and Pineapple Mimosa
by Chef Pangcake
I have missed chow fun for so long since I moved to Boston… I was thinking what to eat in the morning for Sunday brunch. Instead of just regular pancakes, French toasts, and coffee, I was like why not have a Cantonese chow fun this time? So we made this amazing beef chow fun plus delicious pineapple mimosa and French toasts! (Very random right? I mean a fusion of taste).
Let’s see what we need before we cook:
Ingredients:
Rice noodles
Thin beef slices
Scallion (chopped)
Chinese Chives (chopped)
Onion (chopped in sciences)
Bean sprouts (optional, I didn’t use)
Vegetable oil
Sesame oil
Salt
Soy sauce and dark soy sauce
Cooking wine (I couldn’t buy the right Asian cooking wine but I used rum and Vodka, and it turned out to be very yummy)
Flour 1 teaspoon
One egg white
Pre-cooking…
Put the rice noodles in warm water and sit for 6-8 hours. I put them in water the night before and drain the water when I get up.
Marinate the beef: put the beef in a bowl and mix with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of rum/vodka, 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
Step 1- cook the noodles
Boil the rice noodles just for 2 mins until it’s dente (don’t cook it too soft), and cool it down with cold water. Drain the water and put aside for later use.
Step 2 – Cook the beef
Put in about two tablespoons of vegetable
Stir fry the onion and beef until about medium and put them aside for later use
Step 3- stir fry noodles with everything
Put in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Stir fry the bean sprouts (skip it if you don’t have bean sprouts)
Put in the noodles and stir fry with onion and beef
Mix them all with the scallion and Chinese chives
Put in two tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, fry with all the stuff
Season with salt to adjust the taste
This is how we cook a traditional dish of Beef Chow Fun!!
With this pineapple mimosa? That’s how to have a perfect brunch!
