🥢 Chinese Crispy Beef Strips (Sweet & Tangy Takeout Style)
This dish reminded me of the one that I like eating during lunch in college.
Ingredients
300g beef, thinly sliced
1½ tsp soy sauce
4 tbsp cornstarch (more if needed for full coating)
Oil for frying
2 tbsp soy sauce
1½ tbsp sweet chili sauce
1½ tbsp white sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sugar cane vinegar
Instructions
- Toss beef with soy sauce, then coat fully in cornstarch. Every strip should look dry and powdery.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry beef in small batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towel.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a pan and heat for 30 seconds until bubbling and sticky.
- Toss crispy beef quickly in the sauce. Don’t overcook.
- Best eaten hot with rice.
And that’s it! Eating this didn’t really brought back any memories from my college days hahah but it tastes really good. I don’t have the words to describe it.
