INGREDIENTS

  • Batter

    • ¾ cup cornstarch
    • 💧 ½ cup water
    • 🥚 2 large eggs

  • Beef

    • 1 pound flank steak, cut into thin strips

  • For frying

    • ½ cup canola oil, or as needed

  • Vegetables

    • 🥕 1 large carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces
    • 1 green bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size pieces
    • 1 red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size pieces
    • 🧅 3 green onions, chopped

  • Aromatics

    • ¼ cup minced fresh ginger root
    • 🧄 5 garlic cloves, minced

  • Sauce

    • 🍚 ½ cup white sugar
    • ¼ cup rice vinegar
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

STEPS

1

Place cornstarch in a large bowl; gradually whisk in water until smooth. Whisk eggs into cornstarch mixture; toss steak strips in mixture to coat.

2

Pour canola oil into a wok, 1-inch deep; heat oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Place 1/4 of the beef strips into hot oil; separate strips with a fork. Cook, stirring frequently, until coating is crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove beef to drain on paper towels; repeat with remaining beef.

3

Drain off all but 1 tablespoon oil; cook and stir carrot, bell peppers, green onions, ginger, and garlic over high heat until lightly browned but still crisp, about 3 minutes.

4

Whisk sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Pour sauce mixture over vegetables in wok; bring mixture to a boil. Stir beef back into vegetable mixture; cook and stir just until heated through, about 3 minutes.
