Wok with beef and green beans
4 servings
20 minutes
Beef and green bean wok is a vibrant dish of Chinese cuisine that embodies the idea of quick cooking while preserving maximum flavor and nutrition. Thin slices of beef stir-fried in a hot wok develop a crispy crust while remaining juicy inside. Green beans, carrots, and zucchini add freshness and light sweetness to the meat, while cashews and cilantro bring spiciness and aroma. Dressed with white wine vinegar, this wok acquires a delicate tang that harmoniously balances the dish's flavor. Traditionally served with rice or noodles, its rich taste and quick preparation make it an ideal choice for an energetic dinner. Cooking it means immersing oneself in the art of wok frying, where every spatula movement transforms ingredients into a gastronomic masterpiece.
