Make Sauce

Take out the beef from the fridge. To that, add 1 egg white and gently massage it. Lightly coat the beef with cornstarch and set aside.

Fill a wok (or pot) with enough oil and heat it to 180℃ (355℉). Once it reaches the temperature, carefully add the beef pieces. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until light golden brown. Do this in 2 batches and don't overcook it. Once the beef is done, drain on a wire rack.

In a large wok (or pan), add 2 tablespoons of oil. Heat it over medium-high heat. Once it gets nice and hot, add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the onion starts to soften.

Add in the sauce and give it a good stir for 30 seconds or until the sauce is thickened. Add the beef in. Toss together until they’re nicely coated. Turn the heat off.
