Ingredients
- 300 g beef slices
- 250 g onions
- 50 g green bell peppers
- 40 g white sugar
- 30 g oyster sauce
- 10 g dark soy sauce
- 1 g white pepper powder
- 8 g chicken powder
- 1 g salt
- 3 g MSG
- 3 g chicken essence
- 100 g water
- 2 g potato starch
- 2 servings cooked white rice
- to taste sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1Slice the onions and peppers
Place an onion and green bell peppers on a cutting board, then use a sharp knife to cut them into thin, uniform strips for even cooking.
Tip: Keep your fingers curled inward like a claw to protect them while slicing. - 2Blanch the beef slices
Drop the beef slices into a pan of boiling water, allow them to cook briefly until the color changes, then remove them immediately.
Tip: Do not overcook the beef during blanching so it stays tender when stir-fried later. - 3Stir-fry the vegetables
Heat oil in a wok and add the sliced onions and green bell peppers, stir-frying them over medium-high heat until they become tender-crisp.
Tip: Stir continuously to ensure the vegetables cook evenly without burning. - 4Simmer beef and sauce
Add the blanched beef slices directly into the wok along with your prepared sauce mixture, allowing everything to simmer together for two minutes.
Tip: Ensure the sauce is well mixed before pouring it in to distribute flavors evenly. - 5Thicken the sauce
Pour the potato starch slurry into the wok while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce and coat the ingredients.
Tip: Add the slurry gradually to achieve the desired glossy consistency.
