About

This recipe can be used as a guideline for stir-fried beef with other green vegetables. The snow peas can be replaced by iceberg or cos lettuce, broccoli, green beans, or even spinach. When using broccoli or green beans, however, blanch them (step 2) longer (2-4 minutes), until they are tender yet still crisp.
