Thai Birds Nest Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Place the meat in a plastic bag with the oyster sauce making sure all of the meat is coated. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate several hours or over night.
• Put two inches of oil in a large wok and bring to high heat. Drop the vermicelli into the oil and turn almost immediately. Make sure all of the vermicelli comes into contact with the oil. Otherwise it will not expand and will be inedible. Remove, drain, and reserve.
• Pour most of the oil into a heat proof bowl and allow it to cool to return to its container. Put meat in the wok and sear each side for 15 seconds. Remove, drain, and reserve.
• Add a little more of the oil to the wok, if necessary, and stir-fry the carrot, onion, and garlic 4 minutes.
• Add the remaining vegetables and cook for 4 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the beef into ½ inch x 2 inch strips. Add the beef, vinegar, soy, and stock and simmer until it thickens a little.
• Make a mound of the vermicelli( the birdsnest ) on a plate. Spoon the beef mixture on top of the nest and add the chili sauce and some additional vermicelli for a crunchy topping.

Steps:

• Cook and stir marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the marshmallows melt completely into the mixture, about 5 minutes.
• Put chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Pour marshmallow mixture over the chow mein noodles; stir to coat.
• Spray hands with cooking spray or coat with butter so the noodles will not stick to your hands. Scoop noodle mixture from bowl with an ice cream scoop and form into balls, hollowing the center out to create the nest. Arrange 4 chocolate eggs into each nest.

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with foil and grease with spray-on cooking oil.
• Pour noodles into a large bowl. Melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Pour marshmallow mixture over noodles, stirring until well coated.
• Rub some butter on hands and form noodle mixture into six round balls. Place balls on prepared cookie sheet. With the back of a teaspoon, press the center of each ball to make a hollow indentation.
• Let nests set until they are firm. Fill each with small jelly beans. (Other small candies of your choice may be substituted, such as M & M's, small gumdrops, chocolate covered raisins, chocolate covered peanuts, etc.)
