red and green capsicum, 1/4 each, cut into small cubes

canned bamboo shoots, 140gm sliced

cornflour (cornstarch) 1 tsp, mixed with 1 tbsp water

spring onion (scallion), 1 finely sliced

paste:

red chillies 4

bird's eye chillies 8

garlic 3 cloves, peeled

method:

•  Pound ingredients for paste together until fine. heat oil in a wok and fry paste until fragrant. add mushrooms and stir fry for 2 minutes.
• Add beef, oyster sauce, sugar, fish sauce and stir fry for another 3 minutes.
• add onions, capsicums, bamboo shoots and basil leaves and mix well. add cornflour mixture and stir fry for a few minutes until gravy is thick.
• dis out and garnish with spring onion. serve immediately.

* An extra method I did is to pre cook d beef in water so that the beef would be softer.
