Ian and I picked up some broccolini at the grocery store, and I planned to stir fry it with some beef and rice noodles. We also grabbed some yellow mangoes, which were on sale. By the time we got home, I realized I didn’t feel like wrestling with the noodles, so I made some rice instead. It turned out being a good thing, because the meat soaked up so much sauce that there wouldn’t have been enough to cook the noodles very well.

Beef and Broccolini with Mango

1 lb any cut of beef, sliced thin

1 bunch broccolini, rinsed and chopped roughly

2 yellow mangoes, peeled and cubed

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 inch of ginger, chopped

2 tbsp canola oil

1/4 c black soy sauce

1 tsp black bean sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1/4 c palm sugar

1 tbsp tamarind concentrate

In a wok, heat canola oil, ginger and garlic. Add beef, and saute until nearly cooked. Add broccolini and all other sauce ingredients; allow to cook until broccolini is tender, then remove from heat and mix in the mango. Serve on rice.
