I did not see the ingredients for marinade and sauce.
Thanks for sharing this! I have followed you for years! I will be teaching my daughter this recipe 😊😊😊
I've tried this three times and it's been a disaster each time. Meely, non-crispy, zero tang or zip. Followed to the letter. Former chemist so I know how to time and measure. So frustrating! Good luck all!
What if you don’t want a crunchy meat texture?
You really struggle to move it forward, you waffle and stagger around verbally. It makes me think you don't actually know what you are doing.
Homosexuality is a abomination in the eyes of Yahshua Ha ma siach repentance is a must turn from your wickedness
recipe is not clear at all and its boring video
Please show us how to cut the meat
You didn't mention what was in your sauce
why would anyone want to consume baking soda? does nothing but leaves a mettalic taste, why not wash the beef first, then add the corn starch.
I use y'all's recipes all the time and SO sorry for not subscribing earlier! Many thanks to your wonderful family for making the world a better and happier place with all these yummy recipes!
He didn’t say what the stuff that he was dredging the meat in was.? Can someone help me out here
To all the negative commenters: go to the blog (in the description) and copy the full recipe.
I love WOL, Bill and the whole family. I’ve been following them for years. Great recipes without drama, but good explanations/techniques.

Made this tonight (used my cookbook!) and oh my gosh it was a HIT! The beef was so tender (I actually used some thin sliced filet we had in the freezer). The recipe was very quick from start to finish once the beef was marinated. I had some frozen Thai chilis and used three of them and it was plenty of heat for us. Threw in some fresh sugar snap peas from the garden at the end for a little crunch. Great dinner and I love your recipes so much!
What is in your 'sauce' – I must have missed that. x
I have three woks – all different sizes. ANYONE that loves cooking should own woks. Oh – best way to cook scrambled eggs too – in a wok xxx
Wow! Thank you for this. I have a new wok and I'm tryjng to cook like a pro with it. I never knew about velveting meat and flash frying it and removing it before adding it again at the end with the vegetables and sauce. Thanks!
Super underwhelming… would not make again.
This honestly isn't that good. Wouldn't make again
just made this, i loved it. i used chili flake because thats all i had but still, turned out amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, and your time with us!
I loved this! Whoever is behind the camera earned my subscription. She is hilarious! Bill's not so bad himself
damn that looks good – eubastad
