Instructions

Combine together in a cup the soy sauce and sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Pour this mixture over the strips of beef and mix well.
Set aside to marinate as you prepare the rest of this fab dish.

MAKE THE STIR-FRY SAUCE

Place the fish sauce (or water) in a medium-sized bowl.
Add the cornstarch, stirring to dissolve.
Now, add all the other stir-fry sauce ingredients. Mix well.

STIR-FRY AND FINISH OFF THE DISH

Warm your wok over medium-high heat.
Add the oil.
When shimmering, add the shallots and ginger and stir-fry for 1 to minutes, until soft.
Now, add the beef with the soy sauce marinade.
Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until beef is lightly cooked and just no longer pinc.
Add the stir-fry sauce.
Add the broccoli plus ¼ cup of water.
Stir-fry until the broccoli is bright, and softened (about 5 minutes), the sauce will slightly thicken.
Remove from heat. Taste. Adjust seasonings.
Drizzle sesame oil over and serve immediately with Thai Jasmine rice.

Notes

If you prefer very soft broccoli, you can steam the chopped broccoli first, before adding to the wok. Alternatively, boil the chopped broccoli for about 3 to 5 minutes ahead of time.
