Meat prep tips
Meat cutting
Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into thin slices, as they cook faster and stay tender. Slightly freeze the meat beforehand for easier and more uniform slicing.
Marinating and seasoning
Marinate meat with salt, pepper, soy sauce, and cooking wine for 15-30 minutes. Optionally, add corn starch or egg white for extra tenderness.
Oil seal prep
Fry meat slices in hot oil until golden. For richer flavor, immerse them in low-temperature oil and heat slowly.
Pre-treat fat meat
Add ginger and cooking wine to fatty meats to reduce smell. Use spices like star anise and bay leaves for strong-smelling meats.
