Ginger and Green Onion Beef Stir-fry
Directions
- 1Choose a lean cut of beef. Slice against the grain into thin pieces (2-3 mm thick). For easier slicing, freeze the beef for about an hour before cutting.
- 2In a bowl, mix baking soda, sugar, salt, MSG, and ice water until dissolved.
- 3Add the beef and mix by hand until it feels sticky. Gradually add the ice water in 4-5 batches, mixing after each addition until the beef is hydrated and shiny.
- 4Add the egg white and mix evenly. Then, add cornstarch and coat the beef evenly.
- 5Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 6In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, water, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- 7Heat oil in a pan. Add the marinated beef and sear on both sides until the surface changes color. Cook to medium-well (70-80% done). Remove the beef and set aside to drain.
- 8In the same pan, add ginger slices and cook until fragrant. Next, add garlic slices and the white part of the green onions. Stir-fry until aromatic.
- 9Return the cooked beef to the pan and pour in the sauce. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry quickly, ensuring the beef is evenly coated.
- 10Sprinkle the green onion tops into the pan and give it a quick stir.
- 11Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful ginger and scallion beef stir-fry!
