Tips

  • Adding bicarbonate soda to the beef will make it tender when you fry it, and cornflour on top will make it crispy.
  • Traditionally made with bean sprouts and spring onions only, but you can also add tender stem broccoli.
  • The perfect mix of sauces for a stir fry includes dark soy, light soy, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar.
