How To Make sticky asian beef in a nest

  • Step 1
    Slice the beef into strips and place in a bowl. Add the marinade ingredients and massage into the meat, and let marinate 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Step 2
    Place the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Add the oil to a pan and bring it to 400 degrees. Add the corn starch to the meat and coat with your fingers. Then add the rice flour and coat the meat. Place the meat in the oil, a few pieces at a time, and cook about 3 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the meat is cooked. Pour the sauce over the beef and mix well.
  • Step 5
    Take the rice noodles in the oil, and they will expand to about 5 times their surface. Remove with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate
  • Step 6
    Plate the rice noodles, then add the meat on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
