  • 2 small packs Mung Bean Vermicelli
  • 3 cloves Garlic (grated)

  • Pinch of Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
Cooking Methods:
  • 1. Soak mung bean vermicelli in water until soft. Drain and set aside.
  • 2. Pour oil into the cold pot. Turn on medium heat and preheat for 4 minutes.
  • 3. Stir-fry garlic and onion until fragrant. Add sliced beef and stir until cooked through. Add satay sauce and toss well. Pour in seasoning. Toss for 1 more minute.
  • 4. Add chicken stock and mung bean vermicelli. Stir for 2 minutes. Put spring onion on top. Turn off the heat. Serve.
Tips:
  • Cast iron pot conducts heat evenly and reaches high temperature after preheating. Food is seared instantly after it hits the pot, with juices sealed it. The pot retains enough heat to cook through the ingredients within a short period of time, imparting a characteristic caramelized flavour related to stir-fries known as “wok qi”.
