- 1 diced onion
- 8 baby corn ears, sliced
- About half a pound of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of fish sauce

How To Make Crispy Orange Beef
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook the garlic in the hot oil until it browns, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and baby corn, cooking until the onion turns translucent, another 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in the mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 2 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce until well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch dissolves completely. Pour this mixture into the mushroom mixture. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sliced chili pepper and chopped cilantro before serving.
Recipe Notes:
Prep Time: This dish comes together fast—only 10 minutes prep, with just a few slices of mushrooms and baby corn needed.
Sauce Balance: Aim for a harmonious mix of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce to create that signature savory depth—adjust to taste.
High-Heat Cooking: Use a hot wok or skillet to ensure ingredients sear quickly without becoming soggy—this maintains crisp texture.
Serving Suggestions: Serve as a vibrant side to fried rice, noodles, or alongside grilled meats. Garnish with cilantro or sliced red chili for a fresh, spicy lift.
