Beef with Chinese Pickled Mustard

Ingredients:
6 oz. beef (sirloin or round tip), thinly sliced strips
1 package Chinese pickled mustard greens, diced (about 1 to 1.5 cups)
1 T soy sauce
1 T sesame oil
1 T Xiao Shing wine or sherry
1 T oyster sauce
1 T sugar
1 t grated fresh ginger
1 t ground white pepper
1 T cornstarch
1 T Canola oil

Method :-
1. In a small bowl, marinate meat by mixing with pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and Shao xing wine. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.

2. Remove pickled vegetables from package and rinse. Set aside to air dry and then dice into 1-inch chunks.

3. Warm Canola oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add beef (don't pour all the marinade in at once, reserve some for later) and stir-fry to brown all the sides (about 3 to 5 minutes) then toss in the pickled greens.

4. Add sugar and oyster sauce and blend well. In a small bowl, mix a bit of water with cornstarch to create a slurry. Add this in slowly to your wok to create a gravy to bind all the ingredients together. If your wok is drying out, add more of your marinade or a bit of water or chicken stock.

5. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Makes 2 to 3 servings. Serve with steamed rice.
