Hunan Beef Stir Fry

(Last Updated On: August 30, 2021)

Hunan Beef Stir Fry is a famous dish in China. Compared with the compound flavor of Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine is more pure and spicy. They prefer to add dried chilies or chili powder. If you’re a fan of chilies, use only chilies as another ingredient.

I’m not a big chili eater, and it’s better for my taste to add Paojiao or Chopped peppers which were fermented. In this dish, I used Chopped chili peppers instead of dried chilies. Celery and beef are a perfect match.

The point of this recipe is on marinating the beef to cook it tender. Egg white and starch are essential ingredients for marinating beef.
