CUT THE BEEF into thin slices 2 inches long, cutting
against the grain. Put the beef into a bowl together
with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger,
cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well,
then let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is
very hot. Remove the beef from the marinade with a
slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2
minutes until it browns. Remove it and leave to drain
in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil,
leaving about 1 teaspoon. Reheat the pan over a high
heat and then add the dried chiles. Stir-fry them for
10 seconds, and then return the beef to the pan. Add
the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4
minutes, mixing well. Serve the dish at once.
