There's something about Asian flavors that just hits all the right notes.

Savory with just a hint of sweetness and a hit of salty from the soy sauce combine in a delicious combination.

This recipe for Crispy Beef in Sweet Chili Sauce takes it one step further by first frying the beef for a crunchy undercoat.

There's a little heat from the jalapeño, so, if you're not a fan, leave it out.

Serve it over your favorite flavor of rice or cauliflower rice.
