For the Crispy Beef
Ingredients
For the Crispy Beef
1 lb ground beef
4 tbsp. cornstarch
2 egg whites
3 Tbsp. Soy sauce
For the sauce:
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup apricot preserve (can sub with orange juice and orange zest of one large fruit)
3 tbsp. Soy sauce
Instructions
For crispy beef:
Mix together. Let sit for about 10 minutes and then fry it in some oil. I use about 3-4 tbsp of oil and fry it in 2 batches.
I let the beef in the hot oil, break it up a little bit and then let it just sit and fry for about 4 minutes before turning over and doing that to the other side. You should have a nice crusty ground beef mixture.
Remove and set aside. Repeat with rest of beef.
For the sauce:
Bring the mixture to a soft simmer and let it reduce till it’s syrupy.
Then add the crispy beef into the mixture and mix well.
Serve over rice
