Whenever I serve this recipe at parties, my guests love them. They are good warm or cold (as leftovers, on the off chance there are actually any left over)

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb sirloin steaks or 1 lb flank steak (if you prefer)
2 eggs (beaten)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons minced garlic (fresh is better)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (peeled)
1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
cooking oil (for frying)
sliced green onion, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the steak into very thin strips (1/8 to 1/4 inch) against the grain.
  • Put strips in a bowl and add beaten eggs, salt and cornstarch and mix well until the meat is well coated (use your hands for this).
  • In a heavy skillet add cooking oil (1 inch) and heat on medium-high heat until oil reaches 360 degrees F.
  • Carefully lay strips in a single layer in the hot oil- not too many as it will cause the oil to cool and the meat will end up absorbing too much oil.
  • Fry until crisp which should only take about 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Remove and drain on a rack.
  • Repeat until all the meat strips are done.
  • In a saucepan, add water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Gently swirl the pan to dissolve the sugar- do not stir.
  • Boil until the mixture begins to caramelize to a light golden brown.
  • Remove from the heat and gently stir in the garlic, ginger and chili flakes for 10 seconds then add the ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
  • Return the pot to the heat and bring to a boil then gently simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the drained meat slices and warm through.
  • Serve the warm strips on a platter sprinkled with the slice green onion.
