Ingredients

beef (washed and sliced) 500 g

straw mushrooms (trimmed and washed) 200 g

scallions (finely chopped) 1

ginger (sliced) 1 small piece

soy sauce 1 tsp

fine salt 1 tsp

white sugar 1 tsp

monosodium glutamate 2 tsp

Instructions

Marinate the beef

After washing and slicing the beef, add soy sauce, oil, water, and starch. Mix until evenly coated, then marinate for half an hour.

Fry the beef

Heat oil in a wok until it reaches about 80% heat. Add the beef and fry until about 70% done, then remove it and drain.

Cook and season the sauce

Leave a small amount of oil in the wok and add the scallions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add water to taste along with the salt, ketchup, sugar, and monosodium glutamate.

Simmer and reduce the sauce

Once the tomatoes are very soft, return the beef to the wok and toss briefly. Thicken the sauce with a starch slurry, stir until evenly combined, and serve.
