    **RECIPE, SERVES FOUR**
    1-1.5 lbs (approx. 500g) beef for stir fry, ideally skirt steak
    1-1.5 lbs (approx. 500g) small peppers
    2 limes
    1 orange
    1 bunch green onions
    molasses (or any other form of sugar)
    soy sauce
    gochujang (or tomato paste or ketchup if you don't want the heat)
    mustard
    ginger (I used dried but you could use a small thumb of fresh)
    starch
    cilantro (or any fresh herb you like)
    oil
    salt
    pepper
    white rice (make as much as you want however you want)
    Ideally the night before, marinate the beef. Combine the juice of one of the limes, an equal quantity of soy sauce, the juice of the orange, a big glug of molasses, a spoonful of gochujang, a spoonful of mustard, a dash of dried ginger (or a spoonful of fresh chopped), enough water to give you one total cup of liquid, then stir in 1-2 teaspoons of starch, depending on how thick you want the sauce.
    Slice the green onions into thin rounds. Stir the whiter half of the onions into the sauce. Reserve the greener half - stir those and the juice of the remaining lime into your cooked rice shortly before you eat.
    Slice the beef against the grain into strips about half a centimeter thick. Assuming you have time to marinate the beef before you cook, dump the meat into the marinade and refrigerate. (You could instead just used the marinade as a sauce.)
    When you're ready to actually cook, rub down a wide cast-iron pan with a thin layer of oil, put it onto an outdoor grill and get the grill going as hot as possible. Close the lid to retain heat.
    Cut all the peppers in half and take out the seeds. Toss with oil, salt and pepper. Fish the beef out of the marinade, squeeze out as much liquid as possible (retaining it In the bowl) and dry the beef on paper towels. Toss the beef with a little oil. Take the beef, peppers and a handful of cilantro outside along with the reserved bowl of marinade.
    The pan is hot enough when the oil has completely burned off and the pan is no longer smoking. Drop in the beef and push it into an even, thin layer on the pan. Drop the peppers on to the grill grates, and close the lid to retain heat.
    A minute or two later, the peppers should be brown on the first side and you can flip them with tongs. The beef pieces should be brown on the bottom but still not cooked through. Pour in the marinade and stir to deglaze the pan. Close the lid again.
    A minute or two later, the sauce should be thick and the peppers almost cooked. Stir in the cilantro, drop the peppers into the pan, and use thick oven mitts to carry the pan inside.
    Serve over the rice you tossed with the onion greens and lime juice.

    Now that you've mentioned soy sauce, i would recommend you to try black bean soy sauce from Taiwan. The umami is second to none. And the aroma is just incredible after you heated them during cooking. Our extended family is addicted to it, but we are from Taiwan, so take it with a couple drops of soy sauce i guess.

      @Toroidal Zeus to me, yes. They are also fermented differently. The black bean soy sauce is prepped like regular soy sauce, including inoculating them with the right yeast.
      Then it is packed into a huge ceramic urn, topped with salt to seal it off, then a ceramic lid is placed(or sealed, i forgot) on top.
      Then it is moved outside in direct weather (punishing sun mostly) for 6 month of fermenting in heat.
      After 6 month of fermentation, it is moved inside, the paste is dumped into a cooking vessel with water added, cooked for a bit, chill, filter and bottle.
      If you are interested, here's a few key words you can use to search for it.
      黑龍黑豆蔭油 (black dragon/olong brand black bean soy sauce)
      丸莊黑豆蔭油 (wuanchuang brand back bean soy sauce)
      大同黑豆蔭油 (tatungcan brand...... You know the drill)
      The right result should come up within the first few of the Google search result.
      These three brand i have personally tried and like, and please note that just like a lot of things, there are differing grades of the same thing you can get. Cheaper version may include a mix of soy and black bean sauce, product of different stage of extraction, certified organic black bean and stuff.
      Enjoy, and happy umami addiction.

    FYI - Wok Hei isn't quite just food cooked on super hot grill. It requires the oil to "flare up" and smoke the food, which is why they tilt the wok when tossing so that the food & oil can ignite from the burner.
    Most Eastern Asian chefs use a blowtorch to quickly char when they're cooking from home/can't use a high BTU burner. Kenji also recommends this.

    The "pasta style rice" reminds me of a way my mom makes rice
    We have Afghan roots so we call it Afghan rice but some Turks call it Turkish rice
    basically you boil a lot of water way too much for the rice, throw the rice in when its boiling cook it for about half an hour or until starting to sort of open up but far from fully cooked
    then pour the whole thing through a strainer wash the rice a bit to cool it down and put it back in the pot
    a (very) healthy about of good olive oil salt and pepper, mix, build in the cold pot in to sort of a mountain shape
    and put a small divot hole on the top, put on the lowest flame you have covered with a lid wrapped in a clean towel for like an hour or so until the bottom is aa bit blistered.
    you also may put some sliced potato on the bottom of your rice mountain or some raisins in the divot any yam and dried fruit will work

    Ah! You make me WANT a grill even though I've been very adamant that I don't want one (my future grandfather in-law keeps mentioning it) because I don't want to deal with the maintenance and be the only one cooking on it! As much as I LOVE the idea of grilling and the flavors. . .I just don't want the hassle when I can often use an oven broiler or get nearly the same result on the stovetop.

      I mostly grill if I don't want to heat up the house. It's nice to get the family outside in the evening when it starts cooling down, and then you can have the whole meal outside on the deck. And personally you just can't beat the flavor. I use charcoal as well, mostly because that is what I grew up with, but personally I think you get better flavor...

    Interesting choice of sauce to stew in a cast iron, considering how much citrus is in it. Would it be less acidic than to tomato sauce? Since that seems to be the predominant example of what NOT to cook in cast iron because of how acidic it is.

    • @royeckhardt9016
      @royeckhardt9016 2 года назад +3

      If you take care of your cast iron, season regularly, and don't do a long-simmered sauce in it, it should be fine. It's not like, say... cooking acidic in a copper pan. That can be fairly dangerous if done often.

  • @clashwithkeen
    @clashwithkeen 2 года назад +3

    Hey Adam, I'd love to see you do a comparison of acid vs base in marinades when it involves meat in smaller pieces. When I discovered how incredible the texture of my stir fried meats come out with baking soda (along with cornstarch + oil and whatever seasonings as a paste and worked in very vigorously via massaging or beating with a potato masher) vs vinegar or citrus I haven't been able to go back to the acid method. But now I have to make a second sauce with acidity for flavor that I add after the meat is almost done cooking and discard the marinade entirely. That's the only downside I've come across.

    • @clashwithkeen
      @clashwithkeen 2 года назад +1

      I should actually clarify, being that the marinade is a paste there's really nothing to be discarded.

And i started wondering if cooking rice with the perfect amount of water is a "old way" of doing in like folding, or is there a reason to doing it one way or the other.
