Cooking instruction
1. Put beef, coriander, lime leaves and ginger in sauce pan and cover with water. Heat sauce pan until water boils, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain the beef, let cool, and slice it thinly into 1-2 cm square. If the beef slice is not thin enough, you can try to flatten it with a spatula.
2. Add 1 tsp of oil on non stick frying pan, and stir fry half of the beef. Add another tsp of oil, and do the same thing for the rest of the beef.
3. Blend all the chili sauce sauce ingredients except sugar and salt. Heat the sauce mix until it has the consistency you want, and then put in sugar and salt. Mix beef with chili sauce and serve.

1st attempt:
I reduce the amount of chili from the original recipe but I didn't adjust the amount of sugar. The dish is not spicy enough, but too sweet. I also use my teflon frying pan to stir fry the beef, and they don't brown evenly. I'm going to use another frying pan next time.
