Part 4 of our 5-part series on Quick Asian dishes (inspired by Jaden's 15 Minute Asian Light Meals contest) swings back into Chinese territory after taking a detour through India with our "Mustard Potatoes" post.
Annie is really getting fired up about making Asian dishes that don't take a lot of prep time, cooking time, or ingredients. "Stir-fried Beef with Ginger and Egg" fits the bill to a T. Here is everything you need for this dish:
Stir-fried Beef with Ginger and Eggs
recipe adapted from "Malaysian Favorites" by Wendy Hutton
Ingredients:
10 oz of flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 inch piece of ginger
4 green onion stalks
1/4 cup (or less) water
1 egg, lightly beaten
Method:
- Coat the beef with cornstarch, then mix in 1 Tbsp rice wine, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp white pepper. Set aside to marinate.
- Peel and julienne ginger into 1/16-inch sticks. Chop green onions into 1 inch-long pieces. Lightly beat an egg.
- Heat up the oil in a wok over high heat. Toss in the ginger and fry until golden and crisp.
- Add the beef to the wok and oil. Stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add the green onions and stir fry for another 15 seconds
- Move the beef and onions to the sides, creating a well. Add the water, then the beaten egg.
- Stir the beef and the eggs together until the egg sets.
- Plate it up and garnish with the fried ginger.
Remove the ginger from the oil and drain.
Serve over rice or hor funn rice noodles.
TIP #1: Use flank steak instead of sirloin because it is more tender.
TIP #2: The fried ginger is really what makes this dish so flavorful. Next time I would add twice as much ginger!
Aloha, Nate

Hi, I ame here from Foodbuzz, congrats on winning the featured publishers trafic challange. I love your blog and look forward to returning. Question - how did you get the 3 column format for your blog? I love that and I see we both are with blogspot. Would love to know who you did that!
Nice dish!! I love quick stir fries ... and I want mine with lots, and lots of ginger too! Did u use any special tool to cut that ginger to such thin strips?
P.S. do u allow posting of comments for those with a site domain? (not google/open id)
@Simply... - thanks, and thanks for stopping by! To answer your question, I downloaded a 3-column template from somewhere. It was easier than trying to hack it myself. Truth be told, I am considering going back to 2-column, or some hybrid column layout.
@Noobcook - no, we used a sharp knife and a steady hand. :-)

That looks really tasty! I am going to have to try some of that crispy fried ginger.
@Kevin - make a lot of it! I'm sure you'll find many different uses for fried ginger sticks besides this dish.
the crispy ginger looks so delicious, if i ever get to try this i'll put more like you suggested.
@mayan - have fun with it!
