Stir-frying is a delicious way to prepare tender spring leeks.
Ingredients
- 4 tsp sodium-reduced soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp grated gingerroot
- 1/4 tsp white pepper or black pepper
- 12 oz beef flank marinating steaks, thinly sliced across the grain
- 8 oz wild leeks
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 hot red pepper, julienned (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Preparation
In bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, wine, garlic, ginger and pepper; stir in steak, tossing to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, separate green and white parts of leeks; halve white parts lengthwise and cut leaves in half diagonally. Set green and white parts aside separately.
In wok, heat oil over high heat; stir-fry beef, in 2 batches, until no longer pink, about 1 minute, letting oil reheat between batches. With slotted spoon, transfer beef to sieve set over bowl; set aside.
Discard all but 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil from wok. Heat over high heat; stir-fry white parts of leeks, hot pepper (if using) and salt for 1 minute. Return beef and green parts of leeks to wok; stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in sesame oil.
