Food Tip |
We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs. |

Food Tip |
Preparation: Trim and discard fat from beef. Cut beef across the
grain into 1 1/2-inch matchstick pieces. Combine marinade ingredients
in a medium-size bowl. Add beef; stir to coat. Set aside for 30
minutes.
Cut carrot, bell pepper, and celery into 1 1/2-inch matchstick pieces.
Thinly slice onion. Set vegetables aside separately.
Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Cooking: Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of 1 1/2 to 2
inches. Place over high heat until oil reaches about 375 degrees F.
Add beef, half at a time, and deep fry for 1 minute until browned,
turning occasionally. Lift out and drain on paper towels; set aside.
Cook remaining beef.
Remove all but 2 Tablespoons oil from wok. Reheat oil over high heat
until hot. Add carrot and onion; cook, stirring constantly, for 1
minute. Add bell pepper and celery; stir-fry for 1 more minute. Stir
in sauce and beef. Cook and toss until well mixed.
Tips: There should be just enough sauce to coat ingredients. It is
easier to slice beef thinly if it is partially frozen.
