Crispy strips of beef tossed in a sweet, sticky, and spicy chilli sauce, served over fluffy white rice — better than takeout and easy to make at home.
1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
1 egg white (optional)
3–4 tbsp cornstarch
Salt & pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar or honey
Cooked white rice, for serving
Optional toppings: spring onions, red chillies, sesame seeds
Toss beef with egg white, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Let sit 10 mins.
Heat oil and fry beef in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
In a clean pan, sauté garlic and ginger in a little oil. Add chilli sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Simmer 1–2 minutes.
Add crispy beef and toss to coat.
Serve over rice with optional toppings.
Use air fryer or oven for a lighter version.
Toss sauce right before serving for max crispiness.
Add veggies or swap beef for tofu for variations.
