WOK cook this recipe.
"Hot WOK, cold oil".

Stir fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic and ginger.

Move everything to wall of WOK. Add beef and stir fry.

Add mushrooms, water chestnuts, stir fry all together.

Make a small opening in the contents of the WOK (like a volcano) add broth and hot sauce. Get it bubbling.

Then add some of the starch mixture and stir just that area of the wok.

Add more starch mixture if necessary.The sauce should thicken a little.

Quickly toss all together.
