Preparation

1. Slice the ginger and set aside in a separate bowl. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic, slice 1 white onion and the bell pepper and set the pieces aside in a second bowl.

2. Cut stalks of green onions into two-inch pieces. For the white parts, slice them lengthwise. Set aside.

   Marinate the beef

3. Grate 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1 tablespoon of onion, and 1 tablespoon of garlic and place them in a bowl.

   Thinly slice 600g beef against the grain and place it in the bowl.

4. Add 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 4 tablespoons water into the bowl with the beef. Mix everything well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

   After marinating, spread out the beef, mix in 6 tablespoons cornstarch, and then add 2 tablespoon oil. Mix well and set it aside.

   Prepare the sauce

5. Mix 2 tablespoon cornstarch with 4 tablespoons soy sauce to dissolve the cornstarch evenly.

6. Add 3 tablespoons honey, 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoon oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon Chinese five spice, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoon mirin, and 1 cup cold water. Mix well and set it aside.

   Cook the Beef (Pan Frying)

7. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan well.

8. Add the beef slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until brown and remove from the pan. Set aside.

   Stir-Fry Everything

9. Heat another pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit more oil and toast the ginger for about two minutes.

10. Add the garlic slices, red peppers, and onions. Stir fry for about 1-2 minutes.

11. Stir the sauce in the bowl and pour it into the pan. Stir until the sauce thickens and changes color.

Add the beef and green onions into the pan. Stir fry and coat everything with the sauce for about one minute.

Remove the ginger slices if using fresh ginger. Garnish with sesame seeds.
