Put peanut oil in a wok, heat over medium heat until it reaches 60% heat (approximately 150℃). Coat each strip of meat with the egg batter one by one, then dip them fully in a layer of sesame seeds, put them into the oil and deep-fry until cooked through, then remove. Wait until the oil temperature rises to 80% heat, then put the meat back into the oil for a second fry, fry until the meat turns golden brown, then remove to drain excess oil, arrange on a plate and serve.
