  4                    Eggs
    1/2  ts            Salt
  4      oz            Corn flour
  1      lb            Top beef -- cut into strips

Mix together the eggs, salt, and corn flour and toss the beef in this

Reheat the oil and deep-fry the carrots for 1-1/2 minutes. Remove and
drain on paper towels.

Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 1-1/2 tb in the bottom of the
wok. Reheat, then add the green onions, chilies, and garlic. Stir-fry
together for about 3 seconds over the heat then add the sugar, soy
sauce, and vinegar. Return the meat and carrots to the sauce. Toss
over the heat and serve.
