  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 cup bean sprouts

  • 1/2 cup sliced celery

  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers

  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp oil. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.

  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add a splash of oil, then stir-fry beef until browned. Remove and set aside.

  • In the same pan, add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant.

  • Add celery, bell peppers, cabbage, and bean sprouts. Cook for 2–3 minutes.

  • Return beef to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and broth. Stir everything together.

  • Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.

  • Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • To make it spicier, add chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper.

  • Substitute beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variety.

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce and gluten-free alternatives if needed.
