3 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more if needed

2 teaspoons white sugar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

Kosher salt and ground black pepper

1½ pounds boneless beef short ribs, trimmed and sliced ¼ inch thick against the grain (see headnote)

2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled

1 tablespoon neutral oil

4 medium garlic cloves, chopped

1 large ripe mango (about 1 pound), peeled, sliced ¼ inch thick and cut into pieces no longer than 2 inches

Upute

In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the beef and stir to coat. Thinly slice the ginger on the diagonal, then stack several slices and cut lengthwise into ¼-inch matchsticks. Repeat with the remaining slices.

In a 12- to 14-inch wok or a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, heat the neutral oil until shimmering, swirling to coat. Add the ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Add the beef in an even layer and cook, stirring once or twice, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the mango and cilantro stems; cook, stirring, until the mango is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in the vinegar and sesame oil, then taste and season with additional soy sauce, if needed. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves.
