How to Make Crispy Chilli Beef 2021 - The Crispiest Tastiest Chilli Beef

Tender strips of beef in a light, crispy, crunchy coating, smothered in just the right amount of sticky-sweet, tangy, spicy sauce.
Few things in life are better than this, which is why crispy chilli beef is one of the most popular Chinese restaurant, takeaway/takeout dishes in the world.

It’s one of those dishes that isn’t that easy to figure out how to make right, but if you follow my tutorial, it’s actually quite simple.
And if you make this for your friends and family you are guaranteed to impress them.
There are quite a few ingredients and processes to follow and I’ve shown you how I make a proper base for the sweet chilli sauce for that extra flavour rather than just the ketchup method (although it still involves a little ketchup lol!). It’s definitely worth it though.

So I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. If you do, please give it a like, comment and share it to all your friends and family.
And if you want to support my channel directly you can make a donation through the ’Super Thanks’ button which is the heart icon underneath my videos.

As always, thank you so much for watching!
