Ginger beef is a prairie classic, and at Dragon Palace it has been on the pass at 3060 Portage Avenue for years. We slice the beef thin against the grain, coat it in a light batter, and fry it in two stages so the outside stays crisp long after the sauce goes on. The sauce itself is built on fresh ginger, garlic, chilli and a touch of sweetness, reduced until it clings to every strand instead of pooling on the plate.
Portions are generous and built for sharing, which is why ginger beef shows up on so many of our family tables and combination dinners. Order it as a single dish for two, or add it to a larger spread with fried rice and chow mein when you are feeding a crowd in St. James, Crestview or Silver Heights.
How We Cook Our Ginger Beef
Every order starts in a screaming-hot wok. The beef is fried first and rested so the crust sets, then returned to the wok for seconds with julienned ginger, carrot, onion and green pepper. The sauce goes in last and is tossed just long enough to coat, never to soak. That short final toss is the difference between crisp ginger beef and soggy ginger beef, and it is why we cook each order individually rather than in advance.

What to Order With Ginger Beef
Ginger beef is at its best with something plain alongside it to balance the sweetness. Most guests pair it with our chicken fried rice, add a bowl of wonton soup to start, and round the table out with chicken chow mein. For larger groups, add sweet and sour chicken balls so there is something for everyone.
