Dragon beef, sometimes called as Beef Dragon can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish with fried rice. This sweet and spicy dish has all the flavours.
I have made this dish several times and each time it got better. You can substitute beef with chicken or fish and follow the same steps. Only thing to note, no matter what the meat is……it has to be cut into thin strips. If you are using beef the meat should be pressure cooked beforehand with salt and turmeric powder before frying. Another suggestion is that you can marinate the meat the previous night and refrigerate so that all the flavours are fully absorbed.
You can add spring onions to this dish to get that extra bit of flavour. Well….go ahead and try this mouth-watering dish……..
