Ingredients

tenderstem® 150g, cut into bite-sized pieces
cornflour 2 tbsp
Chinese five-spice 2 tsp
thin-cut sirloin 2 steaks, fat trimmed and cut into strips
groundnut oil or sunflower oil
ginger a chunk, grated
garlic 1 clove, crushed
dried chilli flakes 1/2 tsp
soy sauce 2 tbsp, mixed with 2 tsp brown sugar

Method

Step 1

Drop the Tenderstem® into boiling water, cook for 1 minute then drain. Mix the cornflour and five-spice and toss with the steak just before you’re ready to fry.
Step 2

Heat a shallow pool of oil to hot in a wok or heavy frying pan. Add the steak and fry until crisp and dark golden. Scoop out of the pan then drain the oil, leaving about 1 tbsp behind.
Step 3

Add the ginger, garlic and chilli flakes and cook for a minute, then tip in the Tenderstem® and toss for a minute until heated through.
Step 4

Add back the beef with the soy and rice vinegar and toss until everything is coated. Serve with rice.
