Here is a simple dish in the Chinese style (oyster sauce and no hot chilis - but you can add some if you want). It's shown here with noodles, but rice works too and you can vary the vegetables depending on what you have.

    Prep
  1. Soak NOODLES in warm water until softened through, then drain thoroughly and hold aside. You will need to get some water boiling when the main recipe is almost done to cook them.
  2. Cut BEEF into pieces about 1/8" x 1" x 1-1/2".
  3. Remove leaves from BROCCOLI. Cut the stems diagonally starting 1/4" thick at the big end increasing to 1" long at the small end. Cut leaves into peices. Keep stems and leaves separate.
  4. Cut BABY CORN cobs in half crosswise and add to Stems.
  5. Cut BELL PEPPER into 1/4" strips and mix with Leaves
  6. Crush GARLIC and chop small.
  7. Mix OYSTER SAUCE, SOY SAUCE, FISH SAUCE and STOCK.
  8. Run
  9. In a sauté pan or wok heat 2 t OIL and fry Broccoli Stems / Corn until you see just a touch of browning.
  10. Stir in Bell Pepper / Leaf Mix and fry stirring a couple of minutes until slightly softened and coated with oil. Scoop out all the vegetables into a bowl with the BEAN SPROUTS.
  11. Add 2 t Oil and fry Garlic until it shows a little color, then add Beef and fry stirring until it shows just a touch of browning.
  12. Stir in Stock Mix and simmer until beef is tender.
  13. Stir in Vegetable Mix. Bring back to a simmer and sprinkle in enough TAPIOCA STARCH for the desired thickness (not too).
  14. Cook your Noodles in boiling water about 3 minutes. drain and put on plates. Spoon Beef recipe over noodles and serve warm.
NOTES:
  1. Tapioca Starch doesn't have as much thickening power as corn starch but is more forgiving of just being sprinkled in. If you us corn starch, use the usual water slurry method.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch
