When I was working in Beijing, I always loved visiting Hong Kong-style Cha Can Ting\/Cha chaan teng<\/a> (茶餐厅, literally meaning Tea restaurant) for lunch. I’d order a plate of beef chow fun and a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple, tasty and very satisfying! While there are no local outlets serving an authentic version of this dish near to where I live in England, I’m lucky enough to be able to find all the ingredients needed locally to make Beef Chow Fun (Beef Ho Fun, 干炒牛河)<\/em> in my own kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is beef chow fun<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beef chow fun consists of tender, succulent beef slices; soft, springy rice noodles; crispy beansprouts and aromatic Chinese chives. It’s tasty, comforting and nutritious (protein, vegetable and starch in one plate). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese name of this dish “干炒牛河” literally means “Dry fried beef and ho fun (a particular type of rice noodles)” As it suggests, the dish should look dry. That is to say, there shouldn’t be any excessive oil or sauce left on the plate when finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a complicated task to cook this delightful dish at home. However, I’d like to share a few tips and tricks to help you have a fail-proof experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
