Instructions
Toss the sliced beef in cornstarch until fully coated. Shake off excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Fry the beef in batches for 2-3 minutes per batch until crispy on the edges. Remove to a plate.
Tip: Don't skip the high heat. The cornstarch coating needs high heat to get crispy. Low heat will just make it gummy.
Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour into the wok and bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return beef to the wok. Add green onions and toss for 1 minute until everything is coated. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
