“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Preparation: Rinse bean sprouts; drain. Separate layers of onion and
slice into thin strips to match sprouts. Cut steak into slices across
the grain 1/4" wide by 2" long. Mix stock, soy sauce and sherry in a
cup.
Prepare Szechuan pepper/salt: heat dry wok to medium and add Szechuan
peppercorns, stirring constantly until peppercorns exude a strong
aroma; remove from heat. Crush peppercorns with salt, using rolling
pin or blender. Sift to remove coarse pieces. Store in closed jar.
Scalding: In large bowl, cover onions with boiling water; drain in 10
minutes. Add sprouts, cover both with boiling water; drain in 3
minutes. Sprinkle with about 1/2 tsp. Szechuan pepper/salt.
Stir-fry: Add oil to hot wok. When oil starts to smoke, add steak,
and stir-fry briskly for 1 minute or until meat loses pinkness. Push
meat aside in wok; add stock mixture and bring to boil. Dribble in
thin cornstarch paste until light gravy is formed. Mix with beef.
