Ginger Beef - Best of the Best cookbook

I make a recipe exactly as written then add my changes onto the recipe

I microwave rice in a huge measuring cup. I added beef stock for flavouring (low salt). This is brown rice.

the cornstarch mixture and the eggs....

Recipe suggested mixing the cornstarch into the eggs. This batter fell off the meat. Next time I will use the egg, but dip the meat into dry, seasoned cornstarch.

Tender, top sirloin (on sale).

cut the meat against the grain for tenderness

Test the oil to make certain it is hot enough. A small dot of batter should  sizzle

Lots of paper towel to remove excess oil. The batter is not crispy and it fell off the meat!

I grated the carrot and added celery and a handful of prepared coleslaw.

Quick stir fry of vegetables.

The sauce ingredients. I use white balsamic vinegar instead of white. 

I sauce mixture.

The batter fell the meat!  The sauce recipe was perfect.

Rice is finished when all water is absorbed and you see open spaces (fish eyes) in the rice.
