Made with dried orange peel, this spicy dish is from the Hunan region. I came up with thisBeef with Dried Orange Peel recipe by attempting to duplicate a dish at a local Chinese restaurant. My family thinks it tastes even better than the original. Feel free to deep-fry the beef twice if desired to make it extra crispy.
This beef dish is a bit long to prepare if it’s the first time. But i beleve it worth for you to try.
