vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier; canola oil is often less expensive.

Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pan and stir until it smells amazing, about 30 seconds.

Stir in 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1/2 cup water.

Increase the heat to medium-high and let the mixture boil until it thickens, about 4 minutes. Set the sauce aside.

Slice 1 lb of flank steak thinly and coat it in 1/4 cup cornstarch. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb.

Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 375°F.

Shake off the excess cornstarch from the beef and fry it until crispy, about 2 minutes.

Drain the beef on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Toss the beef back in the skillet, add the prepared sauce and 2-inch cut green onions.

Boil until the onions are just soft, about 2 minutes.
