Preparation

Step 1

Cover beef with water and baking soda and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain

Add seasoning to beef and stir.

Mix cornstarch and breadcrumbs, place in a bowl. Place beaten egg in another bowl.

Dip beef pieces in egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Deep fry in oil. (Watch carefully, breadcrumbs burn easily.)

Mix sauce ingredients except for vegetables, cornstarch and water. Mix the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl.

Heat oil in wok. Add ginger, carrot and green peppers. Saute. Add sauce ingredients and cook until hot. Add cornstarch and let boil. For hot ginger beef add Woh Hup Sauce.

Put deep fried beef on a platter and pour sauce over.
