Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 250 g ground beef
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoon White pepper powder (more or less, adjust to your liking)
  • 2 tablespoon corn flour (also called Corn starch)
  • 2 tablespoon spring onion (chopped)
  • 120 g vermicelli (more or less for two)
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese dark vinegar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese chilli oil (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and crumble in ground beef, cooking until it just starts to brown.
  2. Stir in grated ginger and soy sauce, cooking for about 10 to 15 seconds to develop flavor.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of water and sprinkle white pepper powder, then cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes, adding water if it reduces too much.
  4. Cook the vermicelli noodles in boiling salted water until just tender, then drain and set aside.
  5. Combine corn flour with half a cup of water, then stir the mixture into the beef sauce until it thickens evenly.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce, gently toss to coat, and serve topped with chopped spring onions.
  7. Optionally drizzle Chinese dark vinegar and chilli oil over the top to adjust flavor as desired.

Notes

  • For best results, slightly caramelize the soy sauce when stir-frying the beef to enhance its depth of flavor. Vermicelli noodles mimic the texture of Chinese hand-pulled noodles but you can substitute with any noodle you prefer.
