Dry Fried Beef

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

½ teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 pound flank steak, shredded

5–6 tablespoons oil for frying

1. Add the soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and baking soda to the beef. Marinate the beef for 30 minutes.
2. Add 3 tablespoons oil to a preheated wok or skillet. When oil is hot, add half the beef. Lay flat and fry for 2 minutes, then turn over and fry for another 2 minutes. Stir-fry the beef until it turns a dark brown (this will take about 8 minutes). Remove from the wok and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the beef.
