2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 can baby corn, rinsed and drained
2 green bell peppers, cored,seeded and cut into 1/2 inch squares

3/4 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce

Preparation

Slice beef thinly into 1\"x2\" pieces (if you do this while it is partially frozen, the pieces will be much thinner, and the process easier).
In a bowl, combine ginger, sugar, soy sauce and garlic; add beef.
Allow meat to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerated, for up to several hours.
In a wok, heat the oil; drain beef, reserving marinade.
Stir-fry beef over high heat until browned; add corn, green peppers, mushroom, onion, and Thai chilies, stir-frying for 1 minute.
Add marinade and beef stock; reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, stir the cornstarch mixture, oyster, and fish sauces together in a small bowl; stir them into the stir-fry, blending them in well, until mixture thickens.
Serve stir-fry with hot steamed rice.
