Beef in oyster sauce

When I came to make this I discovered that all of the spring onions had run to seed, so, I used a very finely sliced red onion and cooked it for slightly longer. I'm not so keen on bamboo shoots so used extra carrot instead.

Serving suggestions

Serve hot with plain rice or noodles

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
