I wasn’t hungry, and then I took one look at this post, and now I’m starving!
Ginger beef is a simple but popular Chinese dish. One popular way of serving it here is on a sizzling hot plate. Venison (deer meat) is also popular cooked in this same way.
Time to invest in hot plates 🙂
Totally salivating, a dish I love and your pic jumps out of the screen (I wish it did).
