  1. 1

    Toss the steak with 2 tbsp of the soy sauce, 2 tsp of the cornstarch, 1/2 tsp of the sugar, the rice wine and 1 tbsp of the oil. Leave it for 30 min.

    Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until it smokes, then add 1 tbsp of the remaining oil.

    Fry the steak in a single layer, in two batches, until browned and no longer pink, about 1-2 min per batch. Move it to a plate.
