Adapted from Cooking Light, December 2009. You can leave out the MSG if you like (it wasn't in the original version), but you will likely need to increase the salt to compensate.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon mirin
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1/2 teaspoon msg
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
1 lb sirloin steak, sliced thin
5 green onions, sliced in 2 inch pieces
1/2 lb asparagus, sliced in 1 1/2 inch pieces and blanched
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, sliced

1. Combine soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, mirin, hoisin, garlic chile sauce, and MSG. Set aside.
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
3. Coat with cooking spray.

7. Add vegetables, garlic, and ginger.
8. Stir fry for a minute or two.
9. Add the sauce and beef.
