beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are often more affordable and still provide good flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

Lower sodium options are healthier for those monitoring salt intake.

1

Cut broccoli into smaller pieces, separating them at the stem.

2

Slice ginger into a few pieces.

3

Slice the beef (chai tip cut) thinly against the muscle fiber.

4

Marinate the beef with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, baking soda, black pepper, cornstarch, and a little bit of water. Mix until the beef absorbs all the water, then add a touch of oil.

5

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil.

6

Add ginger slices to the oil and let them sizzle briefly.

7

Add broccoli to the pan and stir-fry briefly until coated with oil.

8

Add rice wine and continue to stir-fry until the rice wine cooks off. Season with a little salt and sugar, then add some water and cover the pan to cook the broccoli for 30 seconds.

9

Remove the broccoli from the pan.

10

Add more oil to the pan and pan-fry the beef, spreading it out to cook on one side.

11

Add minced garlic and turn the beef over to pan-fry on the other side.

12

When the beef is about 50% cooked, add rice wine and stir-fry briefly until it evaporates.

13

Add dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a little sugar to the beef and stir-fry until the color looks even.

14

Add water to the pan; it may look like a lot but will thicken into sauce. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken.

15

Turn off the heat and add the broccoli back to the pan. Add more black pepper and mix everything together.
