1/2 cup water
3/4 cup dark brown sugar

Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

- Slice flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Toss with cornstarch and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add beef, in batches, and cook 2-3 minutes, until brown and crispy, flipping over to cook on both sides.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Discard cooking oil. Return beef back to pan along with sauce. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring to coat meat.
