Ingredients

  • 225 grams beef (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
  • 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon potato starch
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 teaspoon doubanjiang
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 Tien Tsin peppers (or other spicy dried chili pepper)
  • 11 grams garlic (2 large cloves minced)
  • 75 grams scallions (2-3 sliced diagonally)

Instructions

  • Put the beef in a bowl along with the 1 teaspoon of shaoxing, the oyster sauce and potato starch. Stir to evenly coat the beef and let it marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, add the hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of shaoxing, and doubanjiang, stir to combine.
  • Heat a wok or frying pan until hot. Add the oil chili peppers and garlic and fry until the garlic is fragrant.
