Recipe 🍳

  1. Add 150g of beef brisket to a pan and cook.
  2. Using beef short rib instead of brisket makes it even more delicious.
  3. Once enough fat has rendered from the brisket, add 1/2 sliced onion and a handful of torn oyster mushrooms.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 6 cocktail shrimp on top of the vegetables, then stir-fry well.
  5. Add 4 Vietnamese chilies and stir-fry once more.
  6. Add 1 cup of milk (paper cup standard, 180ml), 1/2 cup of whipping cream (paper cup standard, 90ml), and 3 tablespoons of store-bought mala sauce.
  7. Once the sauce begins to boil, set it aside briefly and cook the pasta in a new pot. Add a little salt and olive oil to the water and boil the pasta for only 1-2 minutes.
  8. Do not cook the pasta completely; boil it for strictly 1-2 minutes.
  9. Using thin pasta makes it even more delicious.
  10. Immediately transfer the pasta to the mala cream sauce and stir-fry until the pasta is cooked.
  1. Sear beef brisket in a pan to render fat, then add onions, oyster mushrooms, minced garlic, soy sauce, cocktail shrimp, and Vietnamese chili peppers and stir-fry together.
  2. Add milk, heavy cream, and store-bought mala sauce to the stir-fried ingredients and boil to create a numbing and creamy mala cream sauce.
  3. Add slightly boiled pasta to the mala cream sauce and stir-fry until the pasta absorbs the sauce, completing the mala cream pasta.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since the mala cream pasta sauce contains milk and cream, reduce the heat to low immediately after it starts to boil and stir continuously to prevent separation.
