- 2 tablespoon oil

- 2 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions
- 1
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet/frying pan. Sauté diced carrot and diced onion (reserve the sliced onion for later) until the onion is translucent.
- 2
Add ground beef, corn starch, and 1/2 cup of beef stock to the skillet/pan. Stir to break the ground beef. Cook it for 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1/2" of oil in a small frying pan/pot. Once the oil is hot, fry the thinly sliced onions until golden brown and crispy. Remove fried onion with a slotted spoon and place on a kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil.
