For the Protein

For Cooking

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thinly slicing your choice of beef, chicken, or tofu. Toss the sliced protein in cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the coated protein in batches until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and water (or broth) in a bowl. Pour into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Return the seared protein to the skillet and toss with the sauce until thoroughly coated. Add cut green onions just before removing from heat.
  6. Serve immediately over a bed of cooked rice or noodles and add optional toppings like sesame seeds or chili flakes.
