   CUT THE BEEF into thin slices 2 inches long, cutting
   against the grain. Put the beef into a bowl together
   with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger,
   cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well,
   then let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes.
   Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is
   very hot. Remove the beef from the marinade with a
   slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2
   minutes until it browns. Remove it and leave to drain
   in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil,
   leaving about 1 teaspoon. Reheat the pan over a high
   heat and then add the dried chiles. Stir-fry them for
   10 seconds, and then return the beef to the pan. Add
   the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4
   minutes, mixing well. Serve the dish at once.
