Method

Beef Curry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant. Add the beef and brown on all sides.

  3. 3

    Add Spices and Liquids

    Stir in the curry powder, then add the coconut milk and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and let cook for about 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Crispy Gyoza

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Mix well.

    Fill the Gyoza

    Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold, and press to seal.

  3. 6

    Cook the Gyoza

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Place gyoza in the skillet and fry until the bottoms are golden brown. Add water to the skillet, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes.

Steamed Rice

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
