Dragon Beef

 Dragon Beef



This may not be the authentic Dragon Beef, but this how I make Dragon Beef! This Indo-Chinese dish has tangy flavors and slight sweetness from the ketchup and the spiciness from the chilli sauce combines to make this exceptional dish so delicious! I love how easily the recipe comes together. A perfect side dish/ appetizer that makes everyone wanting for more.

This recipe can be made using chicken as well. The main ingredient that gives it an extra crunch is the addition of fried cashews. Do give it a try and serve immediately !
