Using influences from the Orient, this mouth-watering warm salad knocks spots off anything available from the local Chinese and is so much more healthy!
First make the dressing: Stir together warm water and sugar until completely dissolved.
Combine with all other dressing ingredients in a bowl, season to taste and set aside.
Add oil to a frying pan and heat on high until oil is smoking.
Add the beef and stir fry for one minute, adding salt and pepper to taste. Beef should be browned on the outside but remain pink in the centre.
Remove beef and allow pan to cool slightly, then add chopped garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant.
In a bowl, combine watercress, red onion, tomato, beef and garlic. Toss with the dressing and mix well, saving the rest of the dressing for later. Serve immediately.
