Holy moly this was amazing!! As good as any Chinese I've had. I've had some incredible spare ribs at a restaurant in Vancouver BC and I never knew how they made them so good but the secret is in the cornflour coating it makes the beef so tasty and when the sticky sauce is on you get the perfect little crispy bits. I will be trying this with some other meats and spare ribs. Probably the best recipe I've made from here. - 26 Jan 2018
well i do not know why corn flour is used, it didn't coat the beef well at all, so i ended up deep frying good fillet steak, corn flour is for thickening! disappointed! - 08 Feb 2015
