This is a rather simple dish to make. feeds 2.

what you'll need.

12oz beef sliced into thin strips.
green onion, about 2 cups worth, cut into small pieces.
about 1 TBS worth of ginger sliced into match sticks
1 1/2 TBS Hoisin sauce
1 1/2 TBS soy sauce
1 1/2 TBS Chun's House Sauce (recipe to follow)
dash of dark soy sauce for color
dash of salt
oil for cooking
cornstarch and water for doing a corn starch slurry.

Chun's House Sauce.

1/2 cup water
1/8 cup soy sauce
2 tsp Rice Wine
1/4 TBS dark soy sauce
1/4 TBS sugar
1/4 TBS Oyster Sauce
1/8 TBS MSG (optional)


Place ingredients in a sauce pan and heat up till the sugar dissolves.
Store in an air tight container for... Im not sure how long, for a good awhile thats for sure!

Start off by slicing your beef, and doing a cornstarch slurry, add about a TBS of corn starch and water, mix it up with the meat, this will help keep it from sticking together when it cooks. go ahead and precook your meat in a deep fryer or if you don't want to make a mess just do a shallow pan fry.
once the meat is cooked to med/rare, set it aside.

Get all of your ingredients ready. heat up your pan, add a bit of oil and add the ginger to the pan, cook this for about 20 seconds and then add the green onion. once the green onions cook for about 1 minute go ahead and add all of the sauces,

1 1/2 TBS Hoisin sauce
1 1/2 TBS soy sauce
1 1/2 TBS Chun's House Sauce (recipe to follow)
dash of dark soy sauce for color
dash of salt


If the sauce is too runny, now is the time to add some cornstarch slurry. Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the precooked beef into the pan, mix everything together till the beef is hot, then plate.

That looks tasty, and I'm hungry.

I made a variation of this some time ago. I lightly pan fried the beef in some sesame oil. This really helped with the flavor of the actual beef, and complemented the sauce quite well.
