Instructions

Making Crispy Chilli Beef With Sweet Chilli Sauce is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain for tenderness.
2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine cornflour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and water to create a smooth batter. Adjust the water quantity for desired thickness.
3. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat.
