Ingredients
500 g Coles beef stir fry strips

½ cup corn flour
5 ltr oil, for frying

1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tbs garlic, grated

Method
In a bowl, combine the beef and marinade ingredients. Mix together and allow to marinate for up to 1 hour.
In a small saucepan combine the sweet and spicy glaze ingredients and mix together. Place over a medium-high heat and reduce the mixture down to a thick glaze. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan to 180 degrees (°C).
In seperate bowl, combine the potato starch and corn flour.
Remove the beef from the marinade and add to the flour mixture. Toss through the mixture until the beef strips are evenly coated.
Add the beef strips to the large saucepan in batches and fry until the beef is crispy and cooked through. It should take 5-6 minutes.
Once the beef is cooked, add to a bowl and pour in the glaze and some of the sesame seeds. Toss together until all the beef is coated in the glaze.
Serve topped with extra sesame seeds and some spring onion tops.
