• Remove and drain on a rack.
• Repeat until all the meat strips are done.
• In a saucepan, add water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Gently swirl the pan to dissolve the sugar- do not stir.

• Remove from the heat and gently stir in the garlic, ginger and chili flakes for 10 seconds then add the ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
• Return the pot to the heat and bring to a boil then gently simmer for 10 minutes.
