Ingredients:
1/2 pound beef
2 teaspoons oyster sauce, divided into two parts
1 egg white
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 star fruits
2 cups vegetable oil
1 chili pepper, seeded and cut into two-inch strips
1 scallion, cut in two-inch strips, then slivered

1 teaspoon sesame oil
Preparation:
1. Cut the beef into thin strips. Mix it with one teaspoon oyster sauce, the egg white, and the cornstarch. Let marinate for half an hour.
2. Cut one star fruit into its ribs and cut each rib in half the long way. Cut the other one across horizontally.
3, Heat the oil and deep fry the beef for two minutes, remove and drain it setting aside one tablespoon of the oil. Use the rest for another purpose.

Add the rest of the oyster sauce. Put the remaining pieces of star fruit around the top of the wok not disturbing them as the meat mixture is stir-frying for one more minute.
