Chinese Stir-Fried Beef With Ginger Recipe - Cooking Index
Ginger is one of those spices that tastes so much better when you use it fresh. If for any reason you can't get it, substitute 2 teaspoons ground ginger. The peel of fresh ginger is so paper thin you can just mince the ginger without peeling it. Add any other vegetables such as broccoli, bean sprouts, bok choy, or carrots in place of the vegetables listed here.
