Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or cut into thin sticks
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced (adjust to your taste)
  • Canola oil for frying
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 3 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Do the prep. Slice the steak and green onions. Mince ginger and garlic. Julienne the carrots. 
  2. Make the sauce. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes. 
  3. Batter the steak. Add cornstarch to a large bowl. Gradually mix in water with a whisk. Beat in the egg. Add steak strips and toss to coat. 
  4. Fry in batches. Pour 1 inch of oil into a wok, heat oil to 375°F or 191°C. Add a quarter of the steak strips at a time. Cook, stirring frequently. Separate with a fork or tongs. Once they’re golden brown and crispy, remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until you’ve cooked all the meat. 
  5. Stir-fry veggies. Drain all oil out of the work except for 1 tablespoon. Add green onion, carrots, ginger, and garlic. Stir fry for about 1 minute. 
  6. Combine. Add sauce to the wok and bring the mixture to a boil. Add beef, heat through and serve over rice.
