Beef Sang Choi Bow

Beef Sang Choi Bow is a sticky delicious lunch or dinner recipe – somewhat different than the traditional dish, but just as delicious !

Beef Sang Choi Bow

Sticky delicious Beef Sang Choi Bow makes the perfect dinner, no matter the season. The way I have constructed the dish is not quite the same as the usual Beef Sang Choi Bow. Which of course is normally served in a Lettuce leaf, not on top of shredded lettuce.

I have also used Rump steak strips, instead of ground meat, which, for my family is totally fine. I like easy recipes as you should know by now, easy to make and easy to eat. The whole lettuce-leaf-cup thing just did not do it for me this time around.

Sticky delicious Beef Sang Choi Bow - a bit different !

One thing is sure, though, this is a winner !  My family loved it and we had absolutely no leftovers, although I am sure leftovers would not have lasted that long anyway.

I made a small serving, exactly as below, but let it cool down completely and it still tasted great. Therefore I already see this meal as a regular on our Summer menu.

Right now we are in the last week of Winter in South-Africa, but the weather is lovely already. Short sleeves and Summer clothes are all out !

You do not really have to add the fried Rice Noodles, a dinner roll or two would be just as good. I found this recipe on Pick n Pay’s website and even though I adapted the recipe a bit. Also, I decided to serve the Beef Sang Choi Bow with the Rice Noodles. Which we loved – it gives the whole meal a nice crunch as well.

I love easy recipes too! We'll still have some pretty warm temps until later in the year and I can see us enjoying this many times!
