• 1 egg , beaten
• 1 tablespoon Irish rapeseed oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
Sauce
• 3 tablespoons Chinkiang vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon MALA Black Garlic Peanut Chilli Rayu
• 1 tablespoon Doubanjiang (fermented chili bean paste)
• 1/2 cup beef stock (or water)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon potato starch or cornflour
Stir-fry
• 1/3 cup potato starch or cornflour
• 1/3 cup peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
• 1/4 white onion , sliced
• 1 bell pepper , thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon ginger , minced
• 1 tablespoon garlic , minced
INSTRUCTIONS
Marinate the beef
• Beat the egg in a medium sized bowl. Add the sliced beef, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix well and let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Mix the sauce
• Combine everything for the sauce in a big bowl and mix well.
Stir fry
• When you’re ready to cook, drain the extra liquid from the bowl of beef. Add the potato starch. Stir to coat the beef, until it forms an uneven coating with a little dry cornstarch left unattached.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick wok over medium high heat until hot. Add the beef and spread into a single layer in the wok . Separate the beef pieces with a pair of tongs or chopsticks.
• Cook without touching the beef for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden. Flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beef to a big plate and remove the pan from the stove. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place the wok back onto the stove and turn to medium heat. You should still have 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan. If not, add more.
• Add the onion, pepper, and MALA peanut chilli rayu. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add the ginger and garlic. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.
• Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely. Pour into the pan. Stir and cook until it thickens a bit.
• Add back the beef pieces. Stir to coat beef with sauce.
• Transfer everything to a plate immediately and garnish with roasted sesame seeds, if using.
• Serve hot over steamed rice as a main dish.
