Hi, everyone! I'm Jake Miller, a street food blogger who moved from Brooklyn, new york to San Diego, California. I 've been sharing food for just 3 years. I'm a fast-hand hard-core, full-pot Chinese fast-fried. I don't like slow-cooking. I'm obsessed with the fresh, crisp and tender stir-fried food, especially the scallion-flavored home-cooked food. I am extroverted and hearty, speak crisply and neatly, with some street-like strength, no gentle bedding, and share all the real dry goods. I like to wear loose frocks and short sleeves, leggings, and step on canvas shoes. When cooking, I always have a cup of ice at hand. The moment when the fire is over the pot, with onion and meat, is the most healing moment for me. I have been studying Chinese fast-fried dishes for more than two years. I have traveled to all the small Chinese restaurants around me to make the most authentic family-style onion fried series. As a resident fast-fried food creator in aifoodnews, I am also very happy to be aifoodnews and have a good chat with friends who love fast-handed hard dishes. Beef with Shallots and beef with Onion and Tomato these two home-made magic dishes, a fresh, spicy and refreshing dish, and a sweet and sour onion fragrance, are all home-made treasures that can be eaten in ten minutes.

I first fell in love with fried beef with scallion in a fly restaurant in Chinatown, Brooklyn. I ordered one in a hurry at that time. The boss cooked it for a few minutes and served it on the table. The plate was full of scallion fragrance wrapped in meat fragrance. The beef was tender to the teeth. The scallion was crisp and sweet. Even the scallion was wrapped in sauce. I ate two bowls with rice. Since then, I have been addicted to this quick dish. Later, I repeatedly debugged the method myself, and according to the taste of my family, I improved the version with tomatoes. The sour and sweet are greasy, and the scallions are still fragrant. The two dishes have their own flavors. They have become frequent customers of my family's dining table, and they are also the fast-handed recipes that aifoodnews fans urge more. Whether it is a fast-handed dinner for office workers or a simple extra meal on weekends, it is perfect.

Classic scallion fried beef | 10 minutes out of the pot scallion flavor hard core food

beef with scallion is a classic Chinese style stir-fry. The core is stir-fried over high heat, smooth and tender beef, crispy scallions, there is no complicated seasoning, all rely on the temperature and pickling techniques to shine, eat is the fresh flavor of the ingredients themselves, is also the most test of Chinese fast stir-frying skills of home cooking. Different from many soft and rotten stews, this dish pays attention to the taste level. Beef should be tender but not firewood, scallion should be crisp but not rotten, scallion fragrance should completely penetrate into beef, fresh, spicy and refreshing, and one bite is super satisfying. The whole process does not take ten minutes, and the novice kitchen can easily control it.

Food selection (the key to avoid pits, the right choice is delicious)

when making beef with scallion, the right choice of beef is the core, and you must choose it. sirloin or beef leg the meat of these two parts is tender and suitable for quick frying. Never choose beef brisket and tendon, which are suitable for stewing. The frying is old and firewood. Beef is cut into thin slices against the texture. The thinner it is, the easier it is to cook and the more tender it is. The green onions are Shandong green onions or hardcore green onions. The green onions are more white and less leaves. The green onions are cut into horseshoe segments or thick silk. Only the green onions and tender onions are used. The old onions are discarded to avoid affecting the taste. Minimal seasonings: raw soy sauce, cooking wine, corn starch, salt, white pepper powder, a little edible oil, spicy food can be added with a few dried chili, no extra sauce, highlighting onion and meat.

Zero failure practical steps (fire is the soul)

the first step is to marinate the beef, locking the core of the tender not firewood. Put the cut beef slices into a bowl, add a spoonful of cooking wine to remove fishy smell, a spoonful of raw soy sauce to extract freshness, a little white pepper powder and salt, grasp evenly, put a spoonful of corn starch, fully grasp and mix, finally pour a small spoonful of edible oil, lock in the water, let it stand and marinate for 5 minutes, do not need to marinate for a long time, quick stir-fried dishes marinating time, the meat quality is more tender, it is a trick I have tried countless times to make beef stir-fried and tender.

The second step pretreatment of green onions, retain crisp feeling. After cutting the green onions, grab and mix them with a little salt for 10 seconds, remove excess water, rinse and drain them, so that the fried green onions will not come out of the water, keep crisp and sweet taste, and will not lie prone. This step is ignored by many people and is also the key reason for the poor taste of green onions.

The third step is to stir-fry quickly with high fire, and the pan is full of gas. Put a little more oil in the pan than usual for cooking. The oil is hot to smoke. Add the marinated beef slices and stir-fry them quickly. The whole process is full of fire. For about 20 seconds, the beef will be served immediately when it changes color and is ripe. Don't stir-fry it for too long. The beef will be discarded as soon as it is old. Leave the bottom oil in the pan, add dried chili to stir-fry, then add the treated scallion, stir-fry for 15 seconds over high heat, scallion becomes slightly soft and fragrant, then pour back the beef slices, stir-fry quickly and evenly, add a little salt to season, stir-fry for another 10 seconds, turn off the fire immediately, the whole process does not exceed 1.5 minutes, stir-fry over high heat to keep the pot air and taste.
