Jody Prival
3/4 lb. beef sliced and cut into bite sized pieces
1 bunch scallions cut into 1" lengths
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed

Marinade
1 1/2 oz. dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon slivered fresh ginger

Sauce
2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoon sake
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/3 cup cold water
2 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoon Hoisin sauce (optional)

 Mix marinade with meat. Stir well and set aside for at least 30 minutes. Put some oil in a wok and heat till very hot, then add the garlic. As soon as it starts to brown, add the meat and stir rapidly until the red color disappears. Add the scallions, then the sauce. If it gets too thick, add a little water. Heat ~1 minute, then serve.
