Start by making the sauce: mix together vinegar, sugar, tomato puree, hoisin sauce, five spice, and salt in a bowl.

Add a little water to the sauce mixture to adjust thickness, simmering it on low heat.

Cut the beef into strips and marinate with cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper for about 10 minutes.

Coat the marinated beef strips in beaten egg, then dredge in a mixture of cornstarch and plain flour with a pinch of pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and shallow fry the coated beef strips until crispy.

Flash fry onions, bell peppers, and carrots in the same pan, adding a splash of water to help soften them.

Once the vegetables are slightly tender, add the crispy beef back to the pan.

Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables, tossing everything together until heated through and well combined.

Serve with rice, recommending basmati or jasmine rice.
