Ingredients

  1. meat - watch the video to see (cut into desired shape and size for stir fry)
  2. baking soda - watch the video to see (for tenderizing the meat)
  3. cooking fat - watch the video to see (any preferred cooking oil or fat)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Meat: Wash the meat thoroughly, then squeeze it out as if wringing laundry to ensure it's well-drained.
  2. Tenderize the Meat: Apply baking soda to the meat to tenderize it. The alkalinity of baking soda prevents muscle proteins from binding too tightly, retaining moisture and ensuring tenderness.
  3. Preheat the Wok: Heat the wok over high heat until it starts to smoke.
  4. Lower Heat and Add Fat: Lower the heat slightly, add your preferred cooking fat, and immediately start cooking.
