This is made with a simple but super flavourful, classic Chinese stir fry sauce.
Its a real sauce, one that tastes just like you get at proper Chinese restaurants!
I know I can always knock up a stir fry using whatever greens I have left in my fridge.
Prevent screen from sleeping
Even if I only have green beans and an onion (and some protein!).
As long as I have a tasty sauce, Im one happy gal!
So I have a secret weapon for super fast midweek meals ahomemade all purpose stir fry sauce.
I call him Charlie.
As in Charlie Brown, because its a brown sauce.
Dont kill yourself laughing at my lack of originality!
He is similar to the sauce of many Chinese stir fries, but not an exact replica of any.
And hesreal.He tastes like a real Chinese stir fry sauce, with proper depth of flavour.
Say hi to Charlie!
Thats him on the bottom right photo.
Looks unimpressive, doesnt he?
No hint of the power within!
Prevent screen from sleeping
Just give him a good shake, pour him in your stir fry and add water.
Its been over a year since I last shared a recipe using Charlie.
The reason I thought of this is because Super Food Ideas (Australias #1 food magazine!)
asked me to do a feature with a series of recipes using Charlie.
You will beamazedwhat you’re able to make with him!
Not just stir fries soups, sauces, noodle stir fries and even using him as a marinade.
that you could make using Charlie.
For now, I present to you this classic Beef Stir Fry made using Charlie.
BUT Ive also provided the ingredients to make the sauce from scratch too.
The secret is tenderising the meat a method calledvelveting.
