Cook: 30 mins
Servings: 4-5
Ingredients
- Homemade mince – 400 gram
- Onions – 2 Pieces
- Green onions – 2-3 pieces
- Fresh Ginger – 4-5 Slices
- Garlic – 4-5 Cloves
- Sesame – 2 Tbsp. spoons
- Soy sauce – 2 Tbsp. spoons
- Corn starch – 1 tablespoon. spoon (with a hill)
- Carrots – 2 Pieces (young)
- Zucchini – 1/2 Piece (young)
- Green beans – 200 Grams
- Sweet pepper – 2 pieces
- Muer mushrooms – 25 grams (1 pack)
- Vegetable oil – 3 tbsp
- Spice Blend – 2 Teaspoons (Wusangmian Chinese Blend (5 Spices))
- Brown sugar – 5 Tbsp. spoons (FOR SAUCE: all products below)
- Rice White Vinegar – 100 Milliliters
- Soy sauce – 3 Tbsp. spoons
- Tomato paste – 4 Tbsp. spoons (high quality)
- Cornstarch – 1-2 Teaspoons
- Water – 70 Milliliters
- Fresh ginger – 2 Teaspoons (grated)
- Garlic Powder – 1 Teaspoon
- Star anise – 1/2 Teaspoon (ground seeds)
Directions
- First, soak the muer mushrooms in hot (60 degrees) water for half an hour. Then squeeze out the water and chop the mushrooms coarsely, removing the roots and legs.
- Then cook the sauce. I always cook more of it and keep it in the refrigerator. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and good quality tomato paste. Add grated ginger, garlic powder, and crushed star anise seeds. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then tighten the sauce with starch and 70 ml of water. Boil for a couple more minutes – and the sauce is ready. For the dish you need 50-70 ml, pour the rest into a clean, dry jar with a good lid and store in the refrigerator.
- Boil the green beans in sweetened boiling water for 3-4 minutes and immediately rinse with ice water. This will help the beans retain their bright color in the dish.
- Peel, rinse and dry the vegetables. Chop the carrots and onions into strips, chop the garlic and ginger. Cut the pepper and zucchini into small corners.
- Add grated onion – 1 small onion to minced meat, grated ginger – 2 slices, grated garlic – 2 cloves. Pour in the soy sauce and add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, better fried. Also add the starch and mix the minced meat thoroughly.
- Use damp hands to carve meatballs about the size of a ping-pong ball.
- Heat the oil in a wok and fry the meatballs until golden brown, shaking the wok.
- Remove the meatballs and sauté the mushrooms, onions and carrots for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the courgettes and peppers, and cook for a couple more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour 50-70 ml of sauce into a wok and stir vigorously. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring the sauce from the bottom of the wok. Turn off heat and let the food cook for a couple of minutes without heating. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions when serving.
Bon appetit!
