Ingredient Guide
- Beef: Use flank, sirloin, or ribeye — tender cuts that work perfectly for quick stir-frying.
- Baking Soda: Helps soften the beef in the velveting process so it’s never tough.
- Soy Sauce: The foundation of that deep, umami-rich flavor.
- Brown Sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness that balances the saltiness of soy.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Gives a tangy, savory boost to the sauce.
- Ginger: Freshly grated ginger keeps the dish lively and aromatic.
- Mirin: Brings sweetness and balance; rice vinegar is a great substitute.
- Bell Peppers: Red, green, and orange for a mix of sweetness, crunch, and color.
- Garlic: Adds classic depth and aroma.
- Jerk Marinade: A Caribbean twist — adds gentle scotch bonnet heat.
- Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce for that beautiful glossy finish.
- Sesame Seeds: Add a final nutty crunch and presentation flair.
