5.Add the beef. Cook for 30 Seconds.
6.-If you are a vegetarian then you can use some marinated tofu.

10.De-glaze the the pan or wok with 3 oz of beef or chicken stock and serve over white rice.
11.If you find it is too spicy you can "cut" it with some palm sugar adding several tablespoons will help lessen the heat.
