# Instructions:
01 -
Dish it out onto plates right away while it’s still hot. You can eat it as is or enjoy with noodles or fluffy rice.
02 -
Toss the fried beef and cooked veggies together in the wok, pour over your sauce, then throw in the chillies and spring onions. Stir everything over high heat for a minute or two so it all gets nicely coated and glossy.
03 -
Add a splash of oil to a clean hot wok, drop in those onions, stir for a bit, and then throw in the bell pepper for a super quick toss.
04 -
Get your oil hot to about 175°C in a wok or saucepan. Fry up the floured beef pieces (don’t crowd the pan) for a minute or two till they’re crispy and golden. Grab them with tongs and place on a rack or paper towels so any extra oil drips off.
05 -
Mix the egg into your marinated beef first. Then, coat each piece really well with corn or potato starch until they’re all dusted and none are stuck together. Quickly shake off any loose starch.
06 -
Whisk together the ketchup, sweet chilli sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Mix till it’s smooth and put it aside for later.
07 -
Cut the steak into super thin strips, add soy sauce, ginger garlic paste, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Stir it up well, pop a lid on, and let it sit for about fifteen minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
Fry the beef in small batches for crunchiest results, and grab it fresh for the best bite.
