Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the rice according to package instructions, rinsing and boiling until fluffy—about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Combine equal parts cornstarch and flour in a mixing bowl to create a batter. Slice the beef into thin strips and coat each piece evenly.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat (around 350°F) and fry the battered beef in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. In the same pan, lower the heat and sauté minced garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes. Add chili sauce and dark soy sauce, simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return the crispy beef to the pan with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for an additional minute.
  6. Serve the crispy beef over a generous scoop of rice, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Avoid soaking the beef in sauce for too long to maintain its crunchiness. Store leftover rice and beef separately to preserve textures.
