Thai-Inspired Minced Beef with Ginger

This minced beef dish is wonderful especially given the aromatic taste of the ginger which is used quite liberally. One word of caution though: Ensure that the ginger is thinly julienned and fried well (not raw).

300 grams minced/ground beef
1.5 inch ginger, thinly julienned
1 onion, roughly chopped
I clove garlic, minced
2 tbsps. cooking oil
Freshly ground pepper
Pure Fish sauce
Chopped coriander (optional)
Mushroom, sliced (optional)

Heat up the oil and add the ginger. Fry until slightly brown.

Add the onions and garlic and stir until onion is almost translucent.

Add the mushrooms and continue stirring. Add a bit of oil if the mushrooms get a bit dry.

When mushrooms are slightly brown, add the minced beef and continue stirring until beef is no longer pink. Add the slices of chilies.

Season with fish sauce and freshly ground pepper. Topped with chopped coriander.
