Ingredients
Canola oil 2 tbsp or 28g
Cornstarch 2 tsp or 5g
Directions
- Prepare rice according to package directions. In a separate medium saucepan, bring water to a boil.
- Trim and cut the asparagus diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Blanch for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- In a small dish, combine soy sauce, chopped ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallion, and chili oil to make the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
- Heat half of the oil in a wok or heavy pot over high heat until shimmering. Add asparagus and stir-fry for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
- Slice the beef flank in half lengthwise, then cut into thin strips, 2 inches long and 1/4-inch wide.
- Heat remaining oil in the pan over high heat until shimmering. Stir-fry the beef strips in batches for 2-3 minutes per batch until browned but slightly pink inside.
- Return beef to the pan with bell pepper strips. Stir over high heat until the bell peppers begin to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to the pan with the stir fry sauce. Cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
