Sichuan Crispy Beef
What makes this stir fried beef so tasty is the Lao Gan Ma fried chili crisp. This chili oil contains fried shallots, garlic, fried soy beans, fried peanuts, chili flakes, and fermented black beans. The beef is stir fried, then tossed in this chili crisp oil with green onions. It looks a lot spicier than it really is. The flavor is bursting with aromatics and umami, making this a quick and easy go to any night of the week.
