Marinade- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (substitute rice wine if desired)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Sauce- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
Thickener- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1 pound fresh broccoli
2 garlic cloves
To Cook Broccoli- 1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
Other-
1 1/4 cups oil, or as needed
Instructions
Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices. Add the marinade
ingredients, adding the cornstarch last (use your fingers to rub it
in). Marinate the beef for 30 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the sauce and vegetables-
for the sauce, mix together oyster sauce, light soy, dark soy, and
water in a small bowl and set aside. In another small bowl, mix
the cornstarch and water thickener and set aside. Wash and
drain the broccoli. Cut the stalk diagonally into thin slices. Cute
the flowerets into 3 or 4 pieces. Crush the garlic. Heat the wok
and add 1 cup oil. When the oil is medium-hot (between 300
and 325 degrees F.). add the beef. Blanch the beef by letting it
lay flat for 30 - 40 seconds, and then stirring to separate the
pieces. Remove the beef when it changes color and is nearly
cooked (the entire process takes 1 - 2 minutes).
Remove the beef from the wok and drain on paper towels.
Clean out the wok with paper towels.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, add the
crushed garlic and stir fry briefly until aromatic.
Add the broccoli, sprinkle the salt and sugar over, and stir fry
briefly, turning down the heat if necessary to make sure it
doesn't crisp. Remove the wok and drain.
Clean out the wok and add 2 more tablespoons oil. Add the
vegetables and the beef. Add the sauce and cornstarch mixture
in the middle of the wok and stir quickly to thicken. Mix
everything together and serve hot over steamed rice.
Variations- Add carrots and onion if desired. Boil in the wok
with the broccoli (you'll need to add more water)
