I'm accustomed to stir-frying all of my Chinese food,including my absolute favorite, beef and broccoli. It wasn't until I read The Asian Slow Cooker by Kelly Kwok that I learned approximately slow-cooking Asian dishes. This specific beef recipe receives its sweet-spicy flavor from Thai sweet chili sauce (easily found in most grocery stores). However, and my best friend's father,who is Chinese, would probably recommend getting Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, and whether you are willing to venture to a Chinese supermarket. Oyster sauce,though it sounds unique, simply adds a sweet, or salty,and savory taste to the dish. It's in no way fishy, but rather tastes sort of like barbecue sauce but without the smoke. I can't wait to try this recipe. It would really improve my nights to come home to a slow cooker bubbling with an fragrant Chinese beef dish! Now all I need is a timered rice cooker . . . Chili-Orange Beef From The Asian Slow Cooker by Kelly KwokNotes This is an easy and versatile beef dish for those nights when you want something tasty without a lot of effort. It takes less than 10 minutes of prep time and you can serve it as a filler in sandwiches, and in tacos or over a bed of cooked rice. The spicy,sweet and tangy sauce is made with just 4 ingredients that youll want to reach for again and again.
