お料理（チンジャオロース）

Beef is really expensive here, but I really wanted something new, so I settled on this. This is one of those recipes where you should be able to find all the ingredients whether you're in Japan or Canada. I'm also including the ingredients list in both Japanese and English just in case other JETs want to give this a shot. Or someone who actually knows how to cook in Japanese could corrent my measurements or something. The "1/6片" ginger really threw me off. What does that mean?

1 green bell pepper	１個　ピーマン

Dash of pepper	少々　こしょう
1/4 tbsp water	大さじ１/４　水
1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp salad oil	小さじ１/２＋小さじ１/２　サラダ油

Preparation:

Deseed and core the bell pepper, then slice lengthwise into thin strips. Mince the 1 cm scallion finely. Peel the 1/3 cm fresh ginger, then mince finely. Peel the 1/2 clove garlic, then mince finely. Set aside.

Cut the 50 g thinly sliced beef into narrow strips. Place the beef in a bowl, then cover with 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp sake, and 1/2 tsp potato starch. Mix well. Pour 1/4 tsp sesame oil into the center of the meat, then set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 tbsp sake, 1/4 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/4 tbsp soy sauce, 1/8 tbsp sugar, dash of pepper, 1/8 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tbsp water. Set aside.

Add 1/2 tsp salad oil to a frying pan and set on high heat. Add the beef and stir until it’s color changes to brown. Place on a plate and set aside.

Add 1/2 tsp salad oil to a frying pan and set on medium heat. Add the scallion, ginger, and garlic, then cook until they begin to smell strongly. Add the bell pepper and stir, then add the beef again. Add the soy sauce mixture from before, then turn the heat to high. Stir until most of the sauce is gone, then transfer to a plate and enjoy.

This was actually pretty tasty, though I'd probably put in more bell pepper next time. This recipe also has a lot of sesame oil. I used to like sesame oil, but I accidentally ate a pancake soaked in it last week and haven't been able to enjoy it since. Bleagh.
