What You Need
Instructions
In bowl, whisk a little of the milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Whisk in remaining milk, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil; set aside.
In a wok or nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat; stir-fry beef, sesame seeds, garlic and salt for 2 min or until beef is browned. Whisk milk mixture and pour into wok. Cook, stirring often for about 3 min or until sauce is thickened. Stir in greens; cook, stirring, just until greens are wilted and hot, about 1 min. Stir in vinegar. Garnish with additional sesame seeds, if desired.
Tips
Replace 1/4 cup (60 mL) teriyaki sauce with oyster sauce and add 1 tsp (5 mL) hot Asian chili sauce. Replace half of beef with 8 oz (250 g) thawed, peeled and deveined large shrimp.
Make sure the wok and oil are hot before adding beef mixture to get the best flavour and texture.
