    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Toss sliced beef in cornflour until lightly coated. Heat oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

    2 Add vegetables to pan and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add sauce ingredients and stir to coat well. Add back the beef to the pan, cook for a further minute.

    3 Serve on brown rice with sesame seeds and spring onion.

    HFG tip

    The stir-fry takes only 5-6 minutes, so start cooking it when the rice has about 6-7 minutes left to boil. Make sure your vegies are sliced and ready!

      Very nice indeed except that preparing the veg took me ages and I was left with a lot of washing up.

      The sauce was very special, a really distinctive taste. I’d make this again.
