Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 2 Eggs
- 1 pound Sirloin Steak sliced into thin strips (see Note below)
- Peanut Oil for frying
- Thumb-sized piece fresh Ginger peeled and finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic crushed
- 1 Carrot julienned (cut into matchsticks)
- 1/2 Onion cut into strips
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 4 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 Green Onions finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon Red Chili Flakes
- Sriracha Hot Sauce to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
Instructions
- Place cornstarch in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, place eggs. Beat until well mixed and frothy.
- Add beef strips to eggs. Using your hand or a spoon, mix thoroughly until all beef is covered.
- Transfer beef strips to cornstarch. Toss to coat each piece on all sides.
- Heat enough oil to deep-fry beef in a nonstick wok to 350°F.
- Carefully drop beef slices into oil in batches, shaking off excess cornstarch as you do. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Remove and drain on wire rack or plate lined with paper towels. Repeat until all beef is cooked.
- Wipe out wok or use another.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok.
- Add ginger and garlic. Fry for 20 seconds.
- Add carrot and onion. Continue frying for 1 more minute.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, honey, spring onions and chili flakes.
- Add a dash or two of hot sauce, if using.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add crispy beef and stir to coat evenly.
- Take off heat and stir in sesame oil.
- Serve alongside or on top of jasmine rice.
Slice the steak very thinly and against the grain in bite-sized pieces, so it cooks quickly and remains tender.
