Preparation
Step 1
Cut beef into thin slices (approximately 1 1/2 inches). Add marinade ingredients. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 min.
Step 2
While meat is marinating, prepare the remainder of the vegetables. Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Scald tomatoes, plunging briefly into boiling water, remove skin and cut each into 4-6 pieces.
Step 3
Diagonal cut celery and spring onions into sections about the same length as beef. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp of oil to wok. When oil is hot, add garlic. Cook briefly until aromatic, then add beef. Let brown briefly, then stir-fry until it changes color and is 80% cooked through. Remove from wok. Clean out wok if necessary.
Step 4
Heat wok and 1/2 Tbsp oil. Add ginger. Stir-fry for a few seconds, then add celery. Add tomato. Sprinkle 2 tspn sugar and 1/4 tspn of salt. Cover and bring to a boil.
Step 5
Re-stir cornstarch/water mixture. Uncover wok and push tomatoes to the side. Add cornstarch mixture in the middle, stirring quickly to thicken. Add meat back to pan. Mix everything.
