Directions

  1. Place cornstarch in a large bowl, gradually whisk in water until smooth. Whisk eggs into cornstarch mixture, toss steak strips in mixture to coat.

  2. Pour canola oil into wok 1-inch deep, heat oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Place 1/4 of the beef strips into hot oil, separate strips with a fork. Cook, stirring frequently, until coating is crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove beef to drain on paper towels, repeat with remaining beef.

  3. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon oil, cook and stir carrot, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, green onions, ginger, and garlic over high heat until lightly browned but still crisp, about 3 minutes.

  4. Whisk sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper together in a small bowl. Pour sauce mixture over vegetables in wok, bring mixture to a boil. Stir beef back into vegetable mixture, cook and stir just until heated through, about 3 minutes.
