Mix Sauce ingredients EXCEPT WATER together in a small bowl. Then mix in water (easier to combine).

Place beef in a bowl, add 1 tbsp Sauce. Mix, set aside 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a wok or large heavy based skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir until golden (~10 sec) then add onion. Cook for 1 minute.

Add beef. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes or until it mostly turns brown (some red spots ok). If using pork, chicken or prawns, cook until almost cooked through.

Add carrots, bean sprouts and Sauce. Cook until veggies are wilted.

Add peanuts and shallots, stir.

Serve immediately with rice or noodles, garnished with extra shallots and peanuts if desired. (For a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice!)
