Instructions
Mix cornflour and plain flour with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Toss your sliced beef in that flour mix till they're fully coated.
Dunk those flour-coated beef strips into the beaten egg.
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or deep pan to medium-high. Fry the beef strips in batches till golden and crispy.
Drain the fried beef on paper towels.
Clean the wok. Add 1 tablespoon oil and stir-fry garlic, ginger, and both chilies for 1–2 minutes.
Add red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweet chili sauce, ketchup, and sesame oil in a bowl. Pour into wok and simmer 1–2 mins.
Add crispy beef back to wok and stir to coat with the sauce.
Garnish with sliced spring onions and serve hot.
Notes
Use slow release to keep warm without splatter. Pre-chop veggies and mix sauce earlier to speed up cooking.
