Notes
For extra flavor, let the sliced beef marinate in the soy sauce mixture for 15-30 minutes before frying. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce during the last minute of cooking. Feel free to add broccoli, snap peas, or carrots for extra crunch.
