About

Eating out at the Chinese restaurant in our town was a real treat for me as a child. My mom always ordered the sweet-and-sour beef and everyone at the table would clamor for a taste. This version, though decidedly less ketchupy (sorry, Mom), has all the hallmarks of the original: a tart-sweet sauce enrobing crispy fresh vegetables and tender beef.
