BROCCOLI BLACK BEAN SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Trim the steaks and cut into chunky strips, then toss in the cornflour. Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a wok or large frying pan, then stir-fry the strips for 3-4 minutes until browned and caramelised all over. Put on a plate.
• Add a splash more oil to the wok, if needed, then stir-fry the onion and red pepper for 5 minutes. Add the tenderstem broccoli (cut any large spears in half), then fry for another 3 minutes. Add a splash of water if you think it needs it.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the fermented black bean sauce and 3 tbsp water (or use roughly 100ml regular black bean sauce), the fresh ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar, spring onions and the finely chopped basil stalks.
• Add the fried steak back into the wok with the sauce mixture and seasoning, then stir-fry until heated through – add 2-3 tbsp water, if needed, to make it rich and saucy. Stir in the fresh basil leaves, then serve with steamed rice and prawn crackers, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you’d like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
