Basic Asian-style stir fry that is quite tasty and will stick to your gut. I learned this recipe from watching Mom cook dinner many a time. The cool part is that this recipe is pretty versatile; you can leave out or add more stuff during the stir-fry, depending on what you want in it.
NOTE: If you're cooking this for someone who has a seafood allergy, you can substitute Hoisin sauce in place of Oyster sauce. The cocktail shrimp would then be completely out of the equation. ;]
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 - 1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. small cocktail shrimp (optional)
1 package Firm or Extra-firm Tofu, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 teaspoon of cooking oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 of a medium sized (yellow or white) onion, chopped
3 stalks of green onions, cut into 2" pieces
2 - 3 tablespoons of Oyster sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
HOW TO COOK:
Heat up oil on med-hi in a small wok or large frying pan. Sweat minced garlic and chopped onions in oil until golden-brown or smells really nice. Brown beef in small bite-sized chunks until fully cooked. Add tofu and oyster sauce (and shrimp, if so desired), throw in 1/4 cup water for sauce mixture. Toss in green onions, put in a dash of salt and pepper for taste. Stir fry on high heat for a few minutes, then simmer on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
Serve hot over rice, dash some soy sauce on top if so desired. Yields about 4 servings.

Punk pup who can cook. Film at 11.
Don't mind the background image so much, i'm pretty lazy about that at the moment.
Awesomeness as always! Looks like he's having fun. X3 I'm a decent cook, but I'm no good at all with chopsticks. I'll have to give that recipe a try sometime, if I could afford the ingredients. :3
(And yeah, I needed an icon change and I figured I might as well use the pic you drew of me. X3 Hope you don't mind me using it on LJ either. I give credit, though! Lots and lots of credit to the awesome Rocko wuff. X3)
