Bò Xào Su Hào Recipe: Stir-fried Beef with Kohlrabi

Stir-fried beef with kohlrabi (bò xào su hào) was one of my favourite dishes as a child. The beef is marinated and stir-fried on its own over high heat, then tossed back into the pan with kohlrabi and carrot at the end.

2. Prepare the vegetables

Peel the kohlrabi, clean it and slice it into short pieces. Do the same with the carrot.

3. Stir-fry the beef

Heat 2–3 teaspoons of oil, add minced garlic and fry until fragrant. Add all the sliced beef and fry over high heat until it’s cooked. Move it to a clean plate.

4. Stir-fry the vegetables and combine

Using the same pan, quickly add all the sliced carrot and kohlrabi and fry until soft. Season with 1 teaspoon fish sauce and ½ teaspoon sugar and stir quickly. Add the fried beef from step 3 back into the pan and season again to suit your taste.

Before serving, sprinkle sliced spring onion and pepper over the top. I eat it with boiled rice.
