Can I add a can of black beans (rinsed of course) to this recipe?
Assuming they are already cooked then I don’t see why not?
Awesome recipe ! So easy and tastes fantastic , new family favourite ! Thank you for sharing this recipe ?
Hi sorry might be a silly question but do you add corn flour to the mix or just coat the beef?
Hi Lindi, use it to coat the beef prior to browning it
Can I use a jar of black bean sauce mix
Thanks
You can use a sauce like that if your prefer not to use this recipe yep 🙂
You said to previous person you can use black bean sauce if you’re not using this recipe.
But recipe requires Black Bean sauce
Why
The other person wanted to cook beef in a ready made black bean sauce so I was helping with that 🙂
This recipe has everything you need to make it instead though so you don’t need to use a ready made one
Very nice! I doubled the ingredients and tripled the amount of the black bean sauce. I also added carrot, Asian greens and broccoli and served with rice, we will definitely be having this again.
Absolutely delicious!! I left the capsicum out and added sliced carrot. it’s one of my partners fav Chinese dishes and always orders with carrots only. I tried to replicate lol.
Got the seal of approval and asked to have again next week!
Will add black beans and broccoli next week ?
Hi, I’m just asking if I double the recipe how long do I cook it for? TIA😊
Double the beef wouldn’t need extra time Suzi – you’d still be right around the 5hr mark 🙂
we had this tonight for dinner omg!! was Devine
That’s fab feedback! Thanks Cindy 🙂
Is there enough sauce to cover a packet of hokien noodles? Thank-you 😊
While I haven’t done so myself to be sure, looking at the pic I think you’d be fine Joanne 🙂
