Ingredients

  • 600 g Meat, beef, thigh

  • 3 spoons Koruzni škrob

  • 3 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 3 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 1 spoon Ginger, fresh

  • 80 ml Soy sauce, shoyu, less salt

  • 60 ml Water

  • 50 g Sugar, brown

  • 2 piece Onion, young

  • pieces Salt, table

Steps

  1. Slice the meat against the grain into as thin slices or strips as possible, and season with salt and ground pepper. Do not overdo the salt, as we will add soy sauce later. Coat the seasoned meat with starch.

  2. Clean and wash the spring onion. Cut it into approximately 2.5 cm pieces. Peel the garlic and finely chop it.

  3. Place a large pan (wok) on the stove and heat a tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for one minute. Pour in the soy sauce and water, and add sugar. Bring the sauce to a boil and let it cook for about 2 minutes, until all the sugar is dissolved. Pour the prepared sauce into a bowl and set aside.

  4. Pour the remaining oil into the pan. Add the seasoned meat (remove excess starch) and fry it on each side for about 2 minutes, until browned. If you have a larger amount of meat, it’s better to fry it in two or three batches. Add oil as needed.

  5. Mix in the prepared sauce. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom well to release all the caramelized bits that formed during frying. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Add the spring onion to the pan and let the dish cook for another minute, until the sauce fully thickens.

  7. Serve the prepared dish on plates and accompany it with cooked rice.
