Instructions: "A few years ago, the Chinese restaurant in the Amarin Hotel served this dish which I copied. The Amarin Hotel was a small hotel with personalized services and very popular with many regular guests. I worked for a short time at the dress shop there. The Amarin Hotel is no more, there is a big modern shopping plaza in its place now. The shopping plaza has the first Macdonald Hamburger outlet in Thailand situated there. It is doing very well. I still miss the Amarin."

Marinate beef with salt and nam pla for 1 hour. Heat frying pan and cook the salted beef (without oil) for 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towel. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat to fry the salted beef strips until crisp. Drain oh paper towel. Heat the remaining oil.

Stir-fry hot chili, shredded celery and green onion for 1 minute. Add fired crispy beef. Season with Maggi sauce. Pour onto serving plate.
