Ingredients Needed

• ¼ cup cornstarch

• ¼ tablespoon salt

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Coat the beef slices with the cornstarch mixture, making sure they are fully covered.

3. Deep fry the beef slices until they turn golden brown. Ensure they are fully cooked before removing them from the oil. Set them aside.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, and honey. Add sugar, chili paste, water, and ginger. Stir thoroughly and set aside.

5. Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and quickly sauté the onion, garlic, and red pepper for 30 seconds. Add the sauce mixture and cook for another 30 seconds. Finally, toss in the fried beef strips and stir until the beef is coated and heated through.
