If I’m hosting relatives or close friends, Chinese beef stir-fry (小炒牛肉) is always my go-to. The word 小炒 literally means “small stir-fry,” but it’s not about portion size—it’s about simplicity,  often referring to home-style dishes that are simple in ingredients and easy to prepare. The focus isn’t on fancy complexity, but on capturing that signature wok hei—the smoky aroma and flavor that only comes from high heat. 

Ingredients
200g / 7 oz pound of beef, thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link - https://geni.us/light-soy-sauce)
1/4 tsp of salt
