Black Bean Beef Meatballs With Stir Fried Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a blender or food processor, add tofu, black beans, onion, spinach, garlic, and tomato paste, and blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
• To the bowl, add the oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix well until a dough forms.
• Use your hands to form 1-inch (2-cm) balls from the black bean and tofu mixture. Place in rows on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden, flipping halfway.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• First make the meatballs. Tip the mince into a bowl, add the oats, spring onions, spices and the coriander stalks, then lightly knead the ingredients together until well mixed. Shape into 12 ping-pong- sized balls. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the meatballs and cook, turning them frequently, until golden. Remove from the pan.
• Tip the onion and garlic into the pan with the pepper and stir-fry until softened. Stir in the cumin and chilli paste, then pour in the stock. Return the meatballs to the pan and cook, covered, over a low heat for 10 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and beans, and cook, uncovered, for a few mins more. Toss the avocado chunks in the lime juice and serve the meatballs topped with the avocado and coriander leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine red onion, jalapeno, bread crumbs, salt, chili powder, and pepper. Set aside.
• Drain black beans and rinse thoroughly in a colander.
• In a food processor, combine black beans and egg until completely pureed. Add this mixture to the remaining ingredients.
• Combine all ingredients together. The mixture should not be sticky and should be easily formed into balls.
• Form mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls, making 12. Place them on a nonstick cookie sheet (or spray with non-stick spray) and place in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and firm. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut green pepper into julienne strips about 1/8 inch thick; cut beef into strips 1/8 inch wide, 2 inches long and about 1/8 inch thick.
• Remove heads and tails from bean sprouts, and rinse.
• Mix cornstarch with a little chicken stock to make paste; then stir in remaining stock.
• Rinse black beans to remove salt; drain.
• Cook noodles in boiling water until tender, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on thickness of noodles. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons peanut oil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok until it shimmers; stir-fry black beans, ginger and garlic for 30 seconds; add beef and green pepper and stir-fry until beef loses its color.
• Add bean sprouts and spring onion and stir-fry.
• Make a well in center and stir in chicken stock mixture and oyster sauce; stir-fry until mixture thickens slightly.
• Remove from heat and stir in drained noodles.

Steps:

• Remove the thick layer of fat running down the side of the steaks and discard. Slice the steak into 1cm-thick, long strips and toss with the cornflour and some seasoning.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat then add the steak, frying for 3-5 mins or until golden brown on the outside. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion and peppers to the pan and fry for 6-7 mins or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for a further min. Return the beef to the pan and stir through the black bean sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar and 2 tbsp water to loosen a little. Bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat.
• Serve the stir-fry in deep bowls with mounds of sticky rice and top with coriander, if you like.
