Method

1.In a jug, place sauces, sugar, garlic, ginger and cornflour; stir to combine.

2.Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add half the oil; swirl to coat surface. Stir-fry beef, in batches, 3 minutes or until just cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate.

3.Heat remaining oil in wok over high heat. Add onion and capsicum; stir-fry 3 minutes or until onion is soft. Return beef to wok with choy sum, bamboo shoots and sauce mixture; stir-fry 2 minutes or until heated. Serve with rice.

To ensure beef is tender, thinly slice it on an angle, against the grain. Try thinly sliced pork fillet or lamb steaks instead of beef.
