2 tsp five spice

1 white onion sliced

2 cloves of garlic chopped

half a red pepper sliced

half a green pepper sliced

1 red chilli sliced

  4. Whilst the vegetables are cooking, combine the dark soy, ketchup, oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce, vinegar and water in a bowl.
  5. Once the vegetables have cooked, reintroduce the beef to the pan and add the sauce mixture.
  6. Cook on a low heat for a few minutes before serving and topping with the sliced spring onions.

Serving suggestions:

After creating this ultimate crispy shredded beef recipe, serve up alongside some egg noodles, and add an extra helping of chilli and sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for some extra texture. You could even make your egg noodles chow mein style by adding a tablespoon each of oyster sauce, soy sauce and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)!
