Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 250 g ground beef
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoon White pepper powder adjust to your liking
  • 2 tablespoon corn flour also called Corn starch
  • 2 tablespoon spring onion chopped
  • 120 g vermicelli more or less for two
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese dark vinegar optional
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese chilli oil optional

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan heat the oil and ground beef over medium heat. Break the meat apart. Cook until slightly browned.
  • Add in the grated ginger and soy sauce, and stir fry for 10-15 seconds. Add 1 cup of water and white pepper powder. Put a lid on and simmer for 10 minutes. Add more water if it evaporates too much. (time to cook the noodles)
  • Boil the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to packet instructions until al dente. Remove; strain and set aside.
  • Mix the corn flour with 1/2 cup of water and pour into the beef sauce. Stir until evenly thickening.
  • Toss in the cooked noodles and then serve with spring onions on the top. Add the Chinese dark vinegar and chilli oil if desired.

Notes

  • Add the soy sauce to the pan-fried beef and stir fry for 10 seconds to caramelize the soy sauce and bring out the toasty and sweet flavors.
  • I found the Vermicelli pasta has a similar texture to the Chinese hand-pulled noodles. But you can use any noodles for this recipe.
