beef with broccoli (cont.)

6 When the meat’s done marinating, stir 2 tsps. cornstarch into the meat and mix well

7 Now add a cup of cooking oil to a wok and heat on high. When a pinch of flour tossed in sizzles, the oil’s ready. Slide in half of the meat mixture and fry until the meat turns color. No worries if there’s still a smidge of pink in the middle, as you’ll re-cook the meat later; when it’s just about browned all over, fish it out with a slotted spoon, shaking out as much of the oil as you can. Set aside on a plate, and fry up the remaining meat. 8 Carefully pour out the oil from the wok (into an old glass jar; you can collect used oil in the jar till full, then discard). Add the broccoli to the wok, along with 2 Tbsp. of water. Sprinkle about a ½ tsp. of salt. Stir-fry for a minute, then cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for another 3 minutes or so until crisp-tender. Taste and add more salt as needed. Transfer to a big plate. 9 Add 1 Tbsp. of oil to the wok and return heat to high. Stir-fry the scallions and ginger for a minute or so, until fragrant. Pour in the sauce and stir; cook for another minute. Now transfer the meat back to the wok (try to avoid pouring in the extra oil that might have collected in the plate). Stir well to coat the meat, and cook until the meat’s reheated. Arrange the beef over the broccoli, and enjoy!

don't stop: there's more!.
