Nothing worse than someone copying a recipe and posting it as there own. This is a exact copy of a post on allrecipes 4 years older than your post. So sad

We loved this recipe. Followed the recipe exactly but also did not deep fry the meat just stir-fried.

Really good. I also did not deep fry it. The sauce is amazing. I served it alongside Spicy Noodle Salad. Thanks for a good one. will make again with rice.

i'm only rating the sauce for this recipe. yes, i know, it isn't 'crispy' beef anymore if i pan-fry it. spicy beef then? haha. used rice wine and apple cider vinegar in the sauce. omitted the sugar and added slightly more honey instead. the sweetness was just right. i adjusted the serving size to a much smaller portion for myself. thanks for a great dish!
