A delightful twist on the traditional Samoan chop suey, this recipe is flavorful, hearty, and easy to prepare.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding ingredients to achieve a good sear.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the sliced beef to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, just until seared.
Avoid overcooking the beef to keep it tender.
Pour in the soy sauce, ketjap manis, and a cup of water. Stir to combine and let it simmer.
Adjust the soy sauce quantity to suit your taste preferences.
Meanwhile, prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions.
Ensure the noodles are fully hydrated before adding them to the dish.
Add the prepared noodles to the pan along with the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper. Stir well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the noodles absorb the flavors.
Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the Sapa Sui hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of steamed rice for a complete meal.
