Crispy beef is one of our most popular Chinese takeaway dishes, and here it is, re-created without the wheat and soya, from ingredients you can find in any supermarket. I like a challenge, so I wanted to recreate this recipe for you to prepare without any specialist ingredients. Once you have chopped your ingredients, it will be on the table in just a few minutes.
