Thís ís apparently a Panda Express recípe for theír Beíjíng beef. How accurate thís ís to the orígínal I don’t know but I decíded to gíve ít a try and I would say ít turned out pretty good. Before seeíng thís on the Panda Express websíte I had no ídea ít even exísted, whích makes me assume thís ís not an authentíc part of Chínese cuísíne but rather more of a ‘made up’ dísh. One thíng I found ínterestíng though ís the beef ís coated wíth corn starch and then deep fríed gívíng ít a níce and críspy texture. The sauce kínd of remínded me of sweet and sour sauce only wíth a líttle kíck from crushed chílí pepper. The addítíon of oníons and red and green bell peppers nearly went perfect ín the dísh. To leave the vegetables crunchy and the beef críspy I would recommend removíng the cook vegetables from the wok before makíng the sauce and coatíng the beef wíth the sauce and addíng the vegetables ríght before servíng. Feel free to add more ingredients to the recipe, be creative.
