Here is a handy marinade that I use for beef stir-fries. The combination of fish sauce and soy sauce gives the meat a wonderful savoriness that is uniquely Vietnamese.
Recipe information
Yield
enough for 3/4 pound beef
Ingredients
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons light (regular) soy sauce
Preparation
In a shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch, sugar, pepper, fish sauce, and soy sauce and stir to mix. Add the beef called for in the recipe, turn to coat the meat evenly, and set aside to marinate while you ready the remaining ingredients for the stir-fry.
