4. While the wok is heating, mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Stir well.
5. Add the grated ginger to the wok and stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the sauce and simmer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken.
6. Return the beef to the wok and stir well. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, so that the sauce reduces to a thick, sticky texture.
7. Just before serving, throw the finely chopped spring onions into the wok and stir well. Serve alongside a mound of jasmine rice and the garlic spinach.
Garlic spinach method: 1. Heat the wok over a high heat and add the groundnut oil. Add the chopped garlic, stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the spinach. Toss well to coat it in garlic and oil.
2. Add a few dashes of water to help create some steam. When the spinach has wilted, season well.
3.Transfer to a bowl. Serve immediately with the stir-fry.
