# Heat the oil in a wok or large, heavy skillet until the surface of the oil shimmers and a few small wisps of smoke appear.
# Add the meat and seasonings and stir fry over maximum heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
# Add the sugar and soy sauce and continue stir frying for 2 more minutes.
# Pour in enough water to cover the meat; and reduce the heat to low.
