Thai minced beef recipe
This zesty recipe uses budget-friendly beef mince and fragrant flavours to create a fast midweek meal suitable for the whole family. You don’t need to use beef strips for stir-fries. Beef mince is an affordable way to whip up a speedy Thai beef mince stir-fry – plus, who doesn’t have some mince lurking in the fridge or freezer? This flavourful meal is a fresh way to use mince without resorting to the usual bolognaise.
What makes cooking in a wok different from a frying pan?
The deep walls of a wok help to trap heat and allow food to cook more quickly, which makes the meat more succulent. You also tend to use less oil in woks. Round-based woks are best used on gas stoves (sometimes they will need a wok burner attachment). If you have an electric or induction stovetop, you might want to consider a flat-bottomed wok.
