This Chilli Bean Beef Shin Pasta by Ching He Huang is inspired by the spicy pork noodles at Chang Jiao Tang in Shanghai.
This is a delicious Chinese-Italian Fusion pasta dish with tonnes of Umami. The sweetness of the oyster sauce and the rich beany salty notes of the light soy sauce and dark soy sauce really makes this dish a winner.
This recipe was made in collaboration with Ching He Huang.
Season the beef shin with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat half of the oil in a wok or pan over high heat, sear and brown the beef shin pieces all over. Set the beef aside.
Reduce to medium heat, add the remaining rapeseed oil and fry the onions until they turn translucent.
Add the garlic, ginger, celery and carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Add the sauce mix, then the stock, bay leaf and star anise. Add the beef back to the wok or pan. Put the lid on and slow cook over low heat for 90 minutes.
Remove the meat and slice it up. Reduce the sauce further to thicken.
Cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
Add the cooked pasta to the wok or pan and combine well.
Top with the coriander and some fresh chillies.
