Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, dry sherry (if using), minced garlic, ground ginger, and pepper.
-
Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
In another small bowl, whisk the remaining 3 tablespoons cornstarch into 2 cups of cold water until smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup soy sauce.
-
Cook spaghetti or fusilli according to package directions until al dente; drain and toss with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 1 minute until browned; remove from skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add carrots and onion, and stir-fry until tender-crisp.
-
Return the beef to the skillet. Add the drained green beans and the cornstarch-soy sauce mixture.
-
Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Arrange the hot pasta on a serving platter and top with the beef and vegetable mixture.
-
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.
