Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Mix the soy sauce and sugar until dissolved. Place the meat in a bowl and pour the soy mixture over it, tossing well, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a preheated wok, add the meat, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the onion quarters and garlic and fry for another 2 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and cook for 4-5 minutes, then add the sesame oil. Finally, mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth and pour into the wok along with the broth. Bring everything back to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Transfer the finished dish to a serving dish, garnish with strips of leek, and serve. If desired, you can add carrots, bell peppers, spring onions, and/or snow peas (these must be blanched for 1 minute beforehand, otherwise they will remain too firm) to the recipe.
