70 g / 0.15 lb sugar ((or to taste))

In a wok or saucepan, heat up 2 tbsp oil on medium heat and pour in the tomato sauce, HP sauce, sugar, vinegar and water. Cook for 2 minutes or until well combined, then set aside.

Mix the potato and corn starch well, then coat the strips in the starch mixture and shake off any excess.

Heat up a wok of oil on medium-high heat and fry the beef in small batches until crispy. Leave the cooked strips in a colander to rest.Note: Use enough oil to have each strip submerged.

Heat up the sauce and add the fried steak, onions, capsicum and carrots. Mix well.

Chinese Crispy Beef Recipe

sirloin

soy sauce

cornstarch (divided)

carrot (thinly

red chili (seeded and sliced, optional)

oil (for frying)

tbsp honey

tbsp sweet chili sauce

tbsp rice vinegar

garlic (minced)

tsp potato starch

Toss beef strips with soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch; set aside.

To make the the sauce, combine soy sauce, honey, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and starch in a small mixing bowl; mix well and set aside.

Coat the beef again with the remaining cornstarch to ensure it is thoroughly coated.

Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add a small batch of beef strips, shaking off the excess starch, and fry until lightly golden; about 1-2 minutes. Remove the beef strips using a metal wire strainer and place on a wired rack or a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat with the next batch.

Note: If you put too many beef strips at once, they might stick to each other and you will end up with a giant ball of meat instead of small bite-sized strips. Doing small batches is key for a successful deep fry for this recipe.

Once the first fry is completed, do the second deep fry (again in small batches) until the beef turns deep brown and crispy, about 1 minute. Strain the beef with a metal strainer and transfer onto a wired rack.

Wipe the extra oil off the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind. Add shredded carrot and stir fry for 1 minute until slightly soft. Add green onion and chili (if using) and stir for 10 seconds.

Pour the reserved sauce mixture in a skillet. It should bubble and thicken right away. When the sauce is reduced and thickened to a sticky glaze (about 10 seconds), return the beef strips and toss together to coat evenly.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if you wish. Serve the crispy beef immediately with rice.
