Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 80 ml dark soy sauce
  • 60 ml rice wine
  • 60 ml water
  • 20 g Demerara or brown sugar

For the main dish:

  • 1 onion diced
  • 600 g diced beef
  • 3 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 2 tsp lazy ginger chopped (or 1-2 cm ginger, grated)
  • 4 spring onions chopped
  • Optional: 1 red chilli chopped finely

Instructions

  • Bring the sauce ingredients to the boil in a small pan and cook until reduced by half and thickened.
    80 ml dark soy sauce, 60 ml rice wine, 60 ml water, 20 g Demerara or brown sugar
  • Brown the beef in batches in a hot pan. I did this dry, without oil, but you can use a little oil if you wish.
    600 g diced beef
  • Place the onion and browned beef in the slow cooker pot.
    1 onion
  • Pour over the sauce, and top with the garlic and ginger.
    3 cloves of garlic, 2 tsp lazy ginger
  • Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Serve with chopped spring onions and red chillis, over white rice.
    4 spring onions, Optional: 1 red chilli

Notes

Note: as I mentioned above this recipe has a little sauce only. If you would like yours to have more sauce, double the sauce ingredients. Do still reduce the sauce to thicken it before adding to the slow cooker.
