Beef sauce

1 of my favorite accompaniment to go with fried rice. But it can also go well with white rice, yellow rice and even mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef chucks or whole
• 1 green pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 carrots
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 
• Spices: (lawry's,maggi,black pepper,or any seasoning of your choice)

Method:

1. If you have a whole beef, cut it into beef chunks, wash and season your beef and
2. On medium heat, add the tablespoon of oil , "fry" the beef and allow it to cook for about 30 - 40minutes(When the meat is softened and no longer reddish/pinkish looking then its ready)
3. Cut the carrots, green pepper and onions into medium chunks as shown below. 
4. Add the tablespoon spoon of flour to1 or 1/2 a cup of water(depending on how much water there was to season the beef from the start) and pour it on your beef, allow it to cook for another 15mins, then add in the oyster sauce, when the sauce begins to thicken up adjust with spices for taste and add vegetables. 

PS: Don't add the vegetables too early otherwise they would get really soft & you might not even see them in the sauce

Onions and green pepper as requested

Buns(Nigerians) or Sweet Bud(Ghanaians)

A not so oily (even though it's fried). Ps: if you want it sweeter you add more sugar to it.
Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup  of flour
• 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 warm water
• Oil for frying

Method:

1. Sieve flour, add in sugar,salt, nutmeg and baking powder. Mix well
2. Add in your milk, slowly add in water till dough forms and becomes sticky
3. Make small balls out of the dough, set them aside, heat up your oil, then put in the balls
4. Fry for 10-15mins or till when its light brown/deep yellow.

Ps: Keep stirring until the buns come to the top of the oil. If there's a crack in your buns no worries because that's the classic crack that comes with it
