  If I could have edited my previous post I would have done....I did cut down the vinegar to ONE tablespoon. Everything else stayed the same. We all agreed that far more flavour came through.

  Lovely recipe. I reduced the white rice vinegar from 4 tbsp to 2 tbsp and it was perfect. I served this with white rice.

  What a wonderful recipe! I, unlike other reviewers, thought that the vinegar balanced the sweetness of the ketchup and sweet chilli sauce very well, and in fact added a little more. I also doubt that the reviewers that ended up with floppy, soggy beef cooked it correctly. The strips need to be VERY thin, they must also be dropped in when the oil is at a high temperature, watched like a hawk and taken out piece by piece as each turns dark brown and crispy. We tried this with both noodles and rice (and preferred it with rice) and like to sprinkle fresh coriander on top.

  I halved the amount of vinegar. I mixed a beaten egg and salt to the chinese 5 spice and flour. I also had some fiery tomato sauce which i added a dollop of. Another time I had some jalapeno burger relish. I like everything hot!!!

  Made this tonight as its our all time fave meal from the take away, it tasted too vinegary & Chinese 5 spice was strong HOWEVER I added soft brown sugar...a teaspoon at a time until it mellowed the tartness of vinegar and it was PERFECT I'd definitely recommend adding sugar to the sauce!

  This was delicious! Have made it twice and both times we smacked our lips :) I would say that the beef wasn't that crispy though so will cut it thinner next time

  A first attempt at this dish. A great success with the family. Beef crispy and delicious, full of flavour. Would definitely recommend this dish.

  Wish I'd read the comments first and reduced the amount of vinegar as it was far too overpowering. Everything else about this dish was fab though. Served it with some egg fried rice - yum!

  I made this for four so doubled up on the recipe with the exception of the vinegar (having read the reviews) and it was superb. I used sirloin steak and despite perservering I could not get it to go crispy! I made the Oriental Fried Rice recipe from this site to go with it which was nice but plain rice would have been great as the beef is so flavoursome. Will definitely be making this again. Great Saturday night meal.

  Made this for my birthday meal. The beef didn't go crispy like shop bought but the flavour was lovely. I used stir fry beef strips and it worked well. Will make it again as every body liked it.
