Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp canola oil divided
  • 2 tsp sesame oil divided

  • 1 small carrot peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas halved diagonally
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Place sliced beef in a small bowl. Add cornstarch and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine together sugar, water, and soy sauce and stir until well combined.
