| 1. Slice the carrots, celery, ginger, and flank steak into very thin matchstick-size pieces, 1 inch long. | 2. (Be patient. This takes a long time.) Slice the scallions lengthwise, and then cut them into 1 inch long pieces. | 3. Heat 2T of the oil in a wok, and flash-fry the carrots until they are limp. | 4. Do not brown them. | 5. Wipe the wok out, and repeat for the celery. | 6. Wipe the wok out again, add the remaining 2T oil and the palm sugar. | 7. When the oil is hot, and the sugar is bubbling, add the scallions and the flank steak. | 8. Stir-fry 3 minutes, then add the soy sauce, and continue to stir-fry until the liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. | 9. Return the carrots and celery to the wok. | 10. Add ginger root. | 11. Turn the heat down very low, and continue cooking, stirring continuously, for 1/2 hour. | 12. The ingredients will lose most of their remaining liquid turn dark. | 13. In the traditional version of this dish, at this point the cooking is complete. | 14. Continue cooking and stirring, over extremely low flame, for another hour, until the ingredients become brittle and dark, like a pile of burnt sticks. | 15. Toss the remaining ingredients into the dish and serve with steamed rice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
