Chinese two ways


Sometimes Scott is annoyingly indecisive.  We decided to cook Chinese tonight, with ground beef.  He said he doesn't want pasta like we usually do, just meat and veggies.  I said o.k I'm making myself rice (which he doesn't like).  Five minutes later he decided he wanted gluten free pasta.  So here it is Chinese fried rice and/or pasta, I call it, Chinese two ways.

Chinese two ways

Ingredients

1 tablespoon                       oil
1 1/2 lbs.                               ground beef
5                                             diced carrots 
1 1/2 cups                             diced string beans
3 cloves                                 garlic
A bunch                                chives
1/4  cup or more                  soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon                         fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon                         ginger 
1/2 teaspoon                         five spices
A zigzag                                 siracha
1 teaspoon                            sesame seed oil
2 cups                                    cooked rice
6 oz.                                       pasta

Directions

I Cooked ground beef in hot oil on medium high heat.  When it was well done  I added half of the spices, garlic and chives.  I Cooked 30 seconds and removed from the pan. I put the fat in my rice.

I Added some oil and cooked the carrots 5 minutes, added string beans and cooked 5 more minutes.  I Added the remain spices, chives, garlic, soy sauce, fish oil, sesame seed oil and siracha. 

I Combined the meat with the veggies, then  divided the mixture between pasta and rice.

We cooked à la Scott and à la Claudie, cook together à la you and bon appétit!

I topped mine with sprouted lentil.
