Recipe Notes
Now I will be honest, crispy beef is one of my favourite dishes to get from the Chinese so I was worried about how this would stack up. But I needn’t have, I loved it! It’s a much nicer more grown up mellow taste. You can taste all the key ingredients where as with the take away version it’s very syrupy and sweet. I will definitely be making this again and I will also be giving a few other recipes in the book a go.
