This is not exactly a recipe from Chinatown, as much as it is a recipe inspired by Chinatown. It's just another variation on the stir fry method. The Mrs. and I went and ate at Xiao Long Dumplings fairly recently (last week if I remember correctly). She also picked me up some Shaoxing Wine and Dark Soy Sauce from the International Marketplace.

So, this is the result of left-over ingredients, a vague idea of what I was going to make for dinner, trying to recapture and/or conjure the flavors from our dim sum experience.

Spicy beef in a rich, dark sauce with some veggies seemed like the right vessel to carry those flavors. I should've thrown some edamame in there, and if I were to make it again, I'd want some mushrooms in it.
