Ingredients
Instructions
Prep and Marinade
First cut the beef brisket into strips, then into diamond pieces, and toss with cornstarch.
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, Sichuan peppercorn water, Shaoxing wine, and MSG to make the sauce.
Deep-Fry
Heat a wok over high heat and add oil. When the oil is about 70% hot, lower the cornstarch-coated brisket pieces one by one into the oil and fry until red-brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain off excess oil.
Stir-Fry and Pour Sauce
Leave a little oil in the wok, add scallion, ginger, and garlic to bloom the aroma, then add the fried brisket, pour in the combined sauce (stir first to mix), toss to coat, drizzle with sesame oil, plate, and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
