Instructions
- Coat the sliced beef with cornstarch and let it sit for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix all the Sauce ingredients together and set them aside.
- In a wok or skillet, heat the oil over high heat until very hot. Add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the beef slices. Continue stir-frying for a few minutes until the beef is cooked through.
- Add the sauce and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until it thickens. Then, add all the scallions and stir until well combined.
- The best way to enjoy freshly cooked beef with ginger and scallions is alongside a steaming bowl of white rice.
Notes
- Slice the beef into thin, bite-sized pieces. Once in the wok or skillet, spread the meat in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Tenderize the sliced beef by coating it with corn starch. This process, known as velveting in Chinese cooking, results in incredibly tender beef.
- Ensure the wok or skillet is fully heated before stir-frying. You'll know it's reached the optimum heat when a swirl of white smoke appears on its surface.
- Prepare the ginger scallion sauce in a small bowl by mixing all the ingredients. Make sure any corn starch is fully dissolved. Give the sauce a quick stir before adding it to the stir-fry to ensure even distribution. Aim for a light coating of sauce on the ingredients for an authentic Chinese stir-fry.
