Today I will share with you guys a healthy and delicious pairing of tender stir fried beef and some refreshing lettuce.
First cut up 300grams of beef tenderloin into thumbnail sizes
Soak it in clear water for 30 minutes, wash clean and drain
add the ingredients listed on a screen into the bowl and mix together with the meat, after the meat has fully soaked in the flavour add in 1 tablespoon of corn starch, mix well again then add in1 tablespoon of oil, mix once again and let it marinate for 20 minutes, this process will allow the beef to be tender and moist
Prepare the vegetables. dice 1 cup of onions and 1 cup of bell pepper
the prepare about 40grams of vermicelli by cutting them up into sections as shown, you can do this process inside a bag to prevent making a mess
Fry the vermicelli, prepare 1/2 cup or more oil and heat on high heat. when you can no longer see the oil moving it is hot enough to use, this is crucial or else the vermicelli will not fry thoroughly. you can test with a single strand of vermicelli, if they immediately puff up then the oil temperature is ready. fry the vermicelli's in batches until they are all puffed up and white in colour, strain them out and soak up any excess oil with some kitchen towel and set aside
Heat a stir fry pan on high and add in 2tablespoon of oil, while the oil is cold add in the marinated meat chunks and stir fry on high until it's no longer white and set aside
Use the remaining oil and stir fry the onions and then the bell peppers, season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and add in 1.5 tablespoon of lee kum kee black pepper sauce, after the sauce is fully incorporated, sprinkle on some black pepper and set onto a plate. place the meat on the fried vermicelli and wrap with the lettuce when you are ready to eat!
