HUNAN BEEF WITH CUMIN
This fragrant beef stir-fry is an adaptation of one found in Fuchsia Dunlop's "Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook," whose subject is the food of Sichuan's less celebrated eastern neighbor, Hunan province. Cumin, a spice rarely used in Chinese cooking, chiles, chile flakes and garlic create a heated yet sophisticated flavor profile.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix the wine, salt, soy sauces, potato starch or flour and one tablespoon water. Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices and add to marinade.
- In a wok, heat peanut oil to about 275 degrees. Add beef and stir gently for two to three minutes, then remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of oil in wok. Over a high flame, add the ginger, garlic, fresh chilies, chili flakes and cumin and stir-fry briefly, until they are fragrant. Return beef to the wok and stir well, seasoning with salt to taste.
- When beef is sizzling and fragrant,add scallion greens and toss briefly. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil.
