👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This sauce mixture will form the flavor base of the stir-fry. - 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A very hot wok is crucial for achieving a good sear on the beef and quick cooking. - 3
Add the minced garlic, sliced shallots, chopped lemongrass, sliced chilies, and sliced galangal to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Be careful not to burn the garlic. - 4
Add the thinly sliced beef to the wok. Stir-fry quickly, breaking up any clumps, until the beef is browned on all sides but still slightly pink in the center. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Don't overcrowd the wok; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper searing. - 5
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and stir to coat. Add the shredded kaffir lime leaves and continue to stir-fry for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The kaffir lime leaves add a distinct citrusy aroma. - 6
Remove the wok from the heat. Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves, chopped cilantro, and fresh mint leaves.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Adding the herbs off the heat preserves their freshness and vibrant color. - 7
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lime wedges on the side.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This dish is best enjoyed with steamed jasmine rice.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chilies before slicing.
- ✓Marinating the beef in a little soy sauce and cornstarch for 15-20 minutes before cooking can make it more tender.
- ✓Ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying is very fast.
