CUT THE STEAK INTO FINE SHREDS 3 inches long. Combine them with the egg
white, salt and cornstarch, and chill for about 20 minutes. Heat the oil in
a wok or large skillet until it is moderately hot. Add the beef mixture and
stir-fry it quickly in the oil to keep it from sticking. Cook until it
turns white, which should take about 1 minute. Drain the beef immediately
in a colander or sieve and drain off the oil. Clean the wok and add about 1
tablespoon of the drained oil. Reheat it until it is hot. Add the sesame
seeds and stir-fry them for 1 minute or until they are slightly brown. Add
the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Return the cooked beef to the
pan and stir-fry the mixture for another 2 minutes, coating the pieces
thoroughly with the sauce and sesame seeds. Serve at once, or let it cool
and serve at room temperature.
