Beef with Broccoli

(The secret to this popular restaurant dish is to marinate
the beef in a bit of oil)

Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients:

3/4 lb (375 g) lean beef, sliced thinly into bite-sized pieces

Marinade for Beef:

1. 1 egg
2. 1/3 tsp (1.5 mL) salt
3. 1 Tbsp (15 mL) cooking wine
4. 1 Tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
5. 2 Tbsp water
6. 1 1/2 Tbsp (20 mL) oil
7. 1 1/2 lb (750 g) broccoli, flowerets removed, slice on the diagonal into thin slices
8. 1 cup (250 mL) cooking oil
9. 2 1/2 Tbsp (30 mL) oyster sauce
10. 2 Tbsp (25 mL) light soy sauce
11. 3/4 Tbsp (10 mL) dark soy sauce
12. 1 Tbsp (15 mL) sugar
13. a few drops of sesame oil
14. 2 cloves garlic, crushed
15. 1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken broth
16. 2 Tbsp cornstarch (if desired)
    

Directions:

Slice beef and mix together marinade ingredients. Add marinade to beef and marinate for thirty minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to beef, mix in thoroughly, and marinate beef for another thirty minutes. While beef is marinating, prepare the
vegetables.

Heat wok and add 1 cup of oil. When oil is ready, add beef and stir-fry until it is nearly cooked. Remove beef and set aside on a plate. Drain the wok and wipe clean with a paper towel.

Add 1/2 cup water to wok. Bring the water to a boil and add the broccoli. Cover and cook until broccoli is cooked through. Drain the wok.

Heat wok and add oil (about 2 tablespoons). Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add vegetables and beef and mix together. Make a well in the middle of the wok and add the sauce ingredients. Add cornstarch, stirring to thicken. Mix sauce together with other ingredients. Serve hot.

Variations:

*Add carrots and onion if desired. Boil in the wok with the broccoli (you'll need to add more water).

Chinese New Year Cakes Recipes

This sweet, cake-like Nian Gao has a slightly sticky texture or bite to it. This is a good recipe if you don't like standing over the stove worrying about the steamer boiling dry, if you don't want to pan fry lots of pieces, or if you want to share with non-Asians who might be used to a more cake-like cake.

Ingredients:

1. 16 oz. Mochiko sweet rice flour
2. One stick of butter or 3/4 cup of vegetable oil
3. 3 eggs
4. 2 1/2 cups milk
5. 1 to 1 3/4 cup sugar--depending on if you like it sweeter
6. 1 Tbl baking soda
7. One can of red azuki beans
   

Directions:

1. Mix everything but the beans with an electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Beat for 2 more minutes at high speed.
2. Sprinkle Mochiko flour over a 9"x13" baking dish that has been oiled or sprayed with Pam.
3. Spread half of the batter on the bottom of the baking pan.
4. Spread the red azuki beans (you can mix some batter into the beans if they are too thick to spread).
5. Spread the other half of the batter over the red azuki beans
   
6. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes
   

Test for doneness by inserting a chopstick (this is Chinese
New Year Cake after all). If it comes out clean, it is done
