There are certain favourites amongst Chinese dishes and this certainly ranks highly. I love the combination of sweet chilli sauce and hoisin sauce (now readily available kosher) in a stir-fry of beef, carrots and spring onions. Any leftover hoisin sauce can be used like tomato ketchup, or as a marinade or dip.
Serve this dish with noodles or rice but enjoy with chopsticks!
