beef soy asparagus stir-fry method

Cut the asparagus, spring onions, and beans into 4cm lengths. Cut the capsicum into batons about 4 cm long.

Spread the beef stir-fry strips on a plate dust the very lightly with cornflour. Place the soy, kecup manis and water in a small jug and stir to combine.

In a large wok or frying pan on a very high heat, add the oil and allow it to get very hot.  Working fast, add the beef stir fry, stirring constantly until it’s mostly brown and just starting to caramelize on the edges – about 2 minutes in a very hot wok.

Add the garlic and ginger, cook for about 15 seconds stirring constantly. Add all the vegetables, except the spring onions, and cook for about 30 seconds. Pour in the soy and water and add the spring onions. Stir until the sauce thickens. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
