Chinese style Ground beef stir fried in chili peppers, soy sauce, green onion, garlic and vinegar.

Now it becomes colder and colder on my side now and it would be so perfect for foodies like spicy food like me. Chili peppers really can warm the body up.In Chinese cuisine, there is one group of quick and easy rice dish named as “盖浇饭”, literally mean dishes over rice. This group is quite popular in the city of Xian, where I spend my four year university life. In both smaller restaurants and large ones, there are various types of rice bowls provided. For example the dish for today is named as ground pork rice bowl. The savory sauce is perfect with steamed rice.

In China, beef is quite expensive. So pork is the most common meat ingredients. However all of my family members including my 1 year old daughter, so I made lots of beef dishes. My favorite versions are spicy Sichuan style beef stir fries or stews. Even I am quite diligent in kitchen, but there are changes that I do not to cut beef or other meat. Then I just feel how wonderful the ground pork or ground beef is.

Ingredients are quite simple

Besides rice, it is perfect for noodles too.
