In military chow halls this is called Yakisoba... but don't let that discourage you from making this for your fam! This is awesome and can be easily converted from meat-eating to vegetarian-friendly (for those 14 - 16 year olds that decided cows are unedible, if you know what I mean) - change out the meat with meatless burger...

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 block (about 16 ounces) medium or medium-firm tofu
1 generous teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns
3 tablespoons canola oil
6 ounces ground beef or pork (not lean), roughly chopped to loosen
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried chile flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon fermented black beans
2 to 3 tablespoons Szechuan chile bean sauce
1 generous teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
Salt
2 large green onions, cut on diagonal into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Bring a kettle of water to a rolling boil. Meanwhile, cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes, and put into a bowl. Remove kettle from heat; when boiling subsides, pour water over tofu to cover. Let stand for 15 minutes, then drain in a sieve or colander. Transfer tofu to a bowl; set near stove. Measure out 1 1/3 cups water from kettle for sauce, and set next to tofu.
  • In a large wok or skillet, toast peppercorns over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until richly fragrant and slightly darkened (you may see a wisp of smoke). Let cool, then pound with a mortar and pestle or grind in a spice grinder. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in wok or skillet over high heat. Add ground meat, stirring and mashing into small pieces, until crumbly and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add ginger, chile flakes, black beans, and chile bean sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until beef is reddish brown and oil is slightly red. Add sugar and soy sauce, stir to combine, and add tofu. Gently stir or give wok a shake to combine without breaking up tofu too much.
  • Pour in reserved water, and bring to a vigorous simmer. Cook until tofu absorbs flavors of sauce, about 3 minutes.
  • Taste sauce, and add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar, if needed. Add green onions; stir to combine. Stir in cornstarch, then add enough to mixture to thicken sauce. (Traditionally, the sauce should be more soupy than gravy-like.) Sprinkle in the ground peppercorns, give mixture one last stir, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with rice.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality Sichuan peppercorns. Look for those that are plump and have a reddish-brown color.
  • Toast the Sichuan peppercorns before using to release their full flavor and aroma. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
  • Grind the toasted Sichuan peppercorns into a fine powder before using. This will help to distribute their flavor evenly throughout the dish.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers to create a complex and flavorful sauce. Some good options include dried chili flakes, chili powder, and fresh chili peppers. Be sure to adjust the amount of chili peppers used to your own taste preferences.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Szechuan beef is a versatile dish that can be adapted to your own unique tastes. Some popular additions include ginger, garlic, scallions, and peanuts.

Conclusion:

Szechuan beef is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. With its bold flavors and complex aroma, it is a dish that you will want to make again and again. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give Szechuan beef a try. You won't be disappointed!
