    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 pounds beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
    1/3 cup white sugar
    1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 cup long grain rice
    2 cups water
    1/4 cup cornstarch
    2 teaspoons orange zest
    3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
    1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
    8 broccoli florets, lightly steamed or blanched
    2 cups oil for frying


    Recipe



    1. Lay beef strips out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow to dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, rice vinegar, orange juice concentrate, salt and soy sauce. Set aside.

    2. Meanwhile, combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add more water at the end if necessary.

    3. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Toss dried beef in cornstarch to coat. Fry in the hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside. Drain all of the oil from the wok except about 1 tablespoon.

    4. Add orange zest, ginger and garlic to the remaining oil, and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok, bring to a boil, and cook until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add beef, and heat through, stirring to coat. Serve immediately over steamed rice, and garnish with broccoli.
