And stir everything together to heat through. Sweet, spicy, crunchy and totally delicious!! Cook the beef with the sauce first - get it real nicely caramelised because it's key to the flavour in this recipe; Make a well in the centre, add water. We do like this one, tender beef strips with ginger and spring onions, you can't really go wrong with that.

Instructions to make Chinese Beef with Ginger and Spinach:
  1. Finely slice the onions and fry in 1tbsp Olive Oil and 1tbsp Sesame Oil (can substitute if allergic) on a medium heat (4 on a dial 1-6)
  2. Meanwhile Slice the peppers, finely chop or grate the ginger and peas the garlic cloves….. (Don't forget to keep an eye on the onions, you don't want them to burn!)
  3. When the onions have lightly caramelised, add the beef.
  4. When the beef is browned, add the Peppers and Ginger (also add the mushrooms at this point if you wish to include them in your recipe) Continue stirring so that it doesn't catch on the pan.
  5. Dissolve the stock cubes in a cup of boiled water.
  6. Add the Garlic and Stock to the pan. Stir, and add a further 2 Cups Boiling Water. Add a good Grinding of Pepper (you can also add chilli flakes at this point if you want to add a little heat to the dish) reduce the heat (to 3) and simmer for approximately 45 minutes until the beef is tender and stock has sufficiently reduced.
  7. When reduced by approximately half, add Soy Sauce, Maple Syrup and Red Wine Vinegar. Stir, then add Spinach, cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes or untill all the spinach has wilted and darkened.
  8. Stir in the Cornflour solution, allow to bubble on the heat briefly, then remove from the heat. Add extra salt and pepper according to taste if required.
  9. Serve with Noodles of choice!! (I like Brown Rice Vermicelli noodles or whole-wheat egg noodles).
  10. Adjust accordingly. You could add extras such as baby corn or mange tout, extra chilli or vinegar, mushrooms, broccoli etc! You could alter the sweetener to that of your choice or replace the meat with a vegetarian/vegan alternative. Enjoy!!
