  Really tasty although the beef didn't go crispy. Think I cut it too thick but will definately try it again.

  Not too keen on this - perhaps my cooking - beef didn't go crispy and the sauce a little too tart. Not a fave with the family ...

  Made this for tea last night. I used grondnut oil instead of vegatable oil. bought stir fry beef strips which i cut thinly. First I stir fried egg noodles for about 3 mins. Took out of wok and stir fried beef which was crispy. Added thinley sliced mushrooms with other ingredients. Followed the recipe apart from this. Added cooked beef and noodles to wok. Absolutley delish. Will be making again and again.

  Really delicious meal, I didn't change the recipe at all except for frying the beef in two batches, it was lovely and crispy. My seven year old daughter loved this, so much better than a takeaway.

  Beef didn't go crispy, the 5 spice was overpowering and way way too vinegary! Binned the lot.

  There was an initial 'hit' from the vinegar. I will certainly do it again but will cut down on the vinegar..... bare in mind there is vinegar in the ketchup too!. Underneath there are some lovely flavour though....worthy of further experimentation :)

  Yum, yum, yum! Made this for the first time last night and it was so tasty and tangy, it will deffo be a regular! I would advise having everything ready and prepared before you start cooking. Slice the beef as thinly as you can, and fry in small batches, its get nice and crispy that way =o)

  Really good! After reading the comments and reading other recipes I mixed the cornflour, five spice (only 1 tsp) with a beaten egg and half tsp salt in a bowl and added 300g beef to it. Cooked in really hot oil for about 3-4 minutes in three batches and it was lovely and crispy. Swapped the pepper for very finely sliced carrot and halved the amount of vinegar and it was delicious. Made this quantity for two and would still probably like slightly more sauce.

  Full of very full flavours. A lovely dish although why on earth were the quantities for three people? Very strange. Further narrative and a photo of how it turned out for me at http://www.badzilla.co.uk/Good-Food--Crispy-Chilli-Beef

  Followed the suggestions on here and used 2 tbsp of vinegar and 1 tsp of five spice and fried the beef in batches. I managed to get it really crispy and we really enjoyed it. Did the amount of sauce suggested above for just 2 of us and still could have done with a bit more, but that's just personal preference. Overall a really nice dish.

  Very tasty recipe - have made it twice already. I used thin sirloin steak cut into thin strips and stir fried in ground nut oil. The meat was very tender and crispy outside. Whenever a recipe says rice wine or rice wine vinegar I substitute dry sherry so the sauce was not vinegary

  Didn't go very crispy and was a bit too vinegary! But was tasty and am going to try making it again with some adjustments.

  Delicious! I followed the advice above and used less chinese 5 spice and less vinegar.. other than that I followed the recipe exactly. My beef went semi crispy but I was happy with it anyway. Very very tasty. A new favourite for me. Might try using dry sherry next time as always have that in the kitchen anyway.

  Loved it. Used 'cakeanyone?'s idea and added egg to the cornflour mix. Worked really well, crispy flavoursome beef. Quantity about right for 2 I would say, could add more meat and peppers for more and leave the rest the same
