# How to Make It:
01 -
Drop the fried beef strips into the wok. Then, add the sauce along with spring onions and chillies. Keep stirring over high heat for 1–2 minutes to coat everything and warm it through.

In a small bowl, mix together sweet chilli sauce, ketchup, light soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and salt until it’s all blended. Put it aside.
03 -
Heat up neutral oil to 175°C. Fry the beef strips in batches for about 1–2 minutes until they’re crispy. Then, take them out and let them drain on paper towels or a rack.
04 -
Crack the egg into the marinated beef strips and mix until it’s well combined. Sprinkle in the corn or potato starch, making sure the beef gets coated nicely without clumps. Toss away any leftover starch.
05 -
In a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Quickly sauté the onion slices, then add the bell pepper. Give it a quick stir for a few seconds.
06 -
Thinly slice the beef into strips. In a bowl, blend it with light soy sauce, ginger garlic paste, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Mix it all together and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
