| Make the most out of fragrant and mild spring green onions with this northern Chinese home-style stir-fry, where the onions star as the main vegetable. As in many Chinese stir-fries, the actual preparation of the ingredients takes longer than the cooking time, which is under two minutes. In lieu of Chinese pancakes, wrap up the beef mixture in warm tortillas spread with a little Sesame Hoisin Sauce (see below), and your favourite hot sauce, if desired. |
