Ingredients

500g beef strips (thinly sliced)
3 tablespoons cornflour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus extra for frying)
1 small red chili, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
4 spring onions, sliced (separate white and green parts)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Fresh coriander and sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Toss the beef strips with cornflour until fully coated and set aside.
Step 2: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the beef strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3: Remove excess oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Return the pan to heat and add the white parts of the spring onions, garlic, ginger, and chopped chili. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to the pan. Stir and cook the sauce for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 5: Return the crispy beef to the pan and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly with the sauce.
Step 6: Remove from heat, then sprinkle with green spring onion parts, fresh coriander, and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, double fry the beef strips, frying them a second time just before serving.
Swap beef for chicken or tofu to make this dish suitable for different dietary needs.
If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the red chili.
Serve with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Storage

Store any leftover Crispy Sweet Chilli Beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over medium heat to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving as it may soften the beef.

FAQs

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

You can toss the beef in cornflour and prepare the sauce mixture ahead, but it’s best to fry the beef and combine with the sauce just before serving to keep it crispy.
