Ingredients
- 300 g thinly sliced beef
- 1 onion
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp beef bouillon powder
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 100 ml water
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 carrot, sliced
- 1 tsp black sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1Blanch the beef
Add the thinly sliced beef rolls into a wok of boiling water. Let them cook just until the color changes, then remove them from the water.
Tip: Do not overcook the beef; blanching it briefly keeps it tender and removes excess foam. - 2Prepare the teriyaki sauce
In a small metal bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, honey, beef bouillon powder, starch, and water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Tip: Ensure the starch is fully dissolved in the water before mixing with the other liquids to avoid clumps. - 3Stir-fry the onions
Heat a small amount of oil in a wok and add the sliced onions. Stir-fry them over medium heat until they are soft and translucent.
Tip: Stir-fry until the onions are just softened to maintain a slight crunch for texture. - 4Add the sauce
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the wok with the softened onions. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer.
Tip: Keep the heat steady so the sauce thickens evenly once poured into the wok. - 5Combine beef and sauce
Add the previously blanched beef rolls into the wok. Gently toss them with the onions and the simmering sauce until fully coated.
Tip: Toss gently to avoid breaking the delicate, thinly sliced beef rolls.
