Coming back home late in the afternoon after a series of morning classes would sometimes make me feel dreaded to cook, but we still got to eat no matter what. So here's a simple foolproof recipe if you feel like having something flavourful but not time consuming. If you do not consume beef, you can substitute it with pork, chicken or turkey. With the ingredients readily available, you would be enjoying your meal already by the time your take out Chinese or greasy pizza arrive!
Preparation & Cooking time: 20 mins
Ingredients:
20 x Basil Leaves (depends how strong you want the flavour)
2 x Red Bird's Eye Chillies (chopped finely)
3 cloves of Garlic (chopped finely)
1/2 a bulb of Onion (chopped into fine strips)
1 pound Choice of Meat (ground or cut into small slices) *I used Sirloin Steak for its tender texture
For the sauce:
1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
3 tbsp Fish Sauce
1 tsp Cane Sugar
Instructions:
Stir-fry the chopped onions on high heat and then followed by the garlic and chillies until golden brown but make sure the garlic is not burned. Add in the beef and spread evenly without stirring constantly to get a 'caramelized' coating on the meat.
Start to add in all the sauces (you can pre-mix it in a small bowl but not really necessary) and stir fry for another one minute on high heat. Finally toss in the basil leaves and continue for another 1 minute until you see all the leaves have wilted.
Serve over hot white rice for a lazy laid-back late lunch.
