STIR FRY:
Oil for stir fry
A few slices of ginger
Minced garlic
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster
1 tablespoon Mirin (optional)
1 teaspoon white sugar (use this if using Mirin) if not using Mirin use 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar instead

1. MARINATE: Put meat in a bowl. Add all the other marinade ingredients: baking soda, corn starch, soy sauce, white pepper, and squeeze the juice from the grated ginger over the meat, then add the grated ginger to the mix. Mix everything together, coating all the pieces of meat evenly. Set aside. You can cook the meat right away if in a hurry or if you have time allow to marinate at least 10-15 minutes.
2. Heat up the wok or pan. Add some oil. Put in the slices of ginger, stir until you smell the aroma. Add in the minced garlic. And then the white part of the spring onion. Stir for a few seconds.
3. Add the marinated meat to the pan. Stir and try to separate meat which are sticking together. Brown the meat evenly.
4. Add the soy sauce. Stir. Then add in the oyster sauce. Stir well. Simmer for a minute and then put 1 cup of water. Simmer until the sauce slightly boils. If using Mirin, add the 1/2 tsp white sugar, if not using Mirin add the 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir well.
5. Add now the bell peppers and the white stalk of the bokchoy/pechay. Stir for a few seconds. Meanwhile, mix the slurry ingredients: cornstarch and water. Then drizzle it on the meat mixture. Stir well.
6. Once the sauce starts to boil, add the green part of the spring onions and the green leaves of the bokchoy/pechay. Stir for a few seconds until sauce begins to thicken.
7. Drizzle the sesame oil. Stir. And then if adding Mirin, drizzle it, too. Stir again. And done!:)
8. Plate it and eat it with rice or noodles. Enjoy!!!
