Directions

For the Batter

1. Heat the oil, setting the deep fryer to high. Preheat the oven to 100C (200F). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.

2. In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth. Set aside.

3. In another bowl, combine the beef and the starch.

4. Divide the beef into 5 equal portions. Coat 1 portion with batter. Drop the battered strips 1 by 1 into fryer to prevent them from sticking together. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat for the remaining portions.

For the Sauce

1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce and the starch. Set aside.

2. In a large skillet or wok, bring the sugar, vinegar, garlic, orange zest, ginger and hot pepper flakes to a boil. Simmer until the sugar begins turning gold. Add the orange juice and simmer for 1 minute.

3. Add the soy sauce mixture, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil. Off the heat, add the beef and turn it gently with a spatula until well coated.

4. Serve immediately.
