  1. Mix together rice wine , sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, sesame oil, and soy sauce .

  2. Slice the beef across the grain into thin, diagonal pieces (about the size of your smallest finger). Marinate for about half an hour.

  3. Heat the wok until a drop of water dropped into it dances around as it boils. Add enough oil to coat the wok and saute the ginger . Stir-fry the lettuce; remove and set aside. Stir-fry the beef (in batches so the wok doesn't cool down too much).

  4. Reduce the heat. Return the vegetables to the wok. Add the sesame seeds , hot bean paste, hoisin sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir around until everything is mixed and heated evenly. Serve.

  5. Yield: 4 servings Note: Also add any other vegetables that you like such as julienned carrots and broccoli . Hot bean paste also goes by the name Szechuan bean sauce. This is the main "spicy" ingredient and should be handled with care. Vary this ingredient to taste.
