Recipe: Mongolian Beef (not Bobo China's)

Main Dishes - Beef and Other Meats
I couldn't find any Bobo China recipes on the Internet. Maybe you could tweak some of these recipes.

MONGOLIAN BEEF

Adding cornstarch helps to tenderize the beef. For a more authentic recipe, feel free to substitute bamboo shoots for the baby corn.

1 lb sirloin or flank steak
MARINADE:
1 egg white
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
VEGETABLES:
4 green onions, sliced on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces
1 (8-ounce) can baby corn
1 garlic clove, minced
SAUCE:
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp chile paste, or to taste
OTHER:
1 tsp sugar
1 cup oil for frying beef
2 tbsp oil for stir-frying

Slice the beef across the grain into thin strips. Add the marinade ingredients in the order given and marinate the beef for thirty minutes.

To prepare the vegetables, wash the green onions and slice on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces. Peel and mince the garlic. Rinse the can of baby corn with warm running water. Drain thoroughly. Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.

When the beef has finished marinating, heat the wok and add 1 cup oil. When oil is ready, add the beef and fry until it changes color. Remove the beef from the wok and drain on paper towels.

Clean out the wok with a paper towel, and add 2 tablespoons of oil for stir-frying. When the oil is ready, add the garlic. Stir-fry briefly, and add the baby corn. Add the green onions.

Make a well in the middle of the wok by pushing the vegetables up to the side. Add the sauce and bring to a boil, stirring to thicken.

Stir in the sugar. Add the beef and combine with the sauce and vegetables. Serve hot.
