No Matter What Meat You're Stir-Frying, Don't Directly Put It in the Pan – Add This One Step for Tender, Non-Stick Meat

Talking about stir-fried meat, many people are probably already drooling. When it comes to stir-fried meat, fish-flavored meat slices and green pepper stir-fried meat are the most representative. They're spicy and flavorful, with tender meat and don't feel dry, and are loved by everyone. Although stir-fried meat is delicious, many people often make it wrong, either the meat is tough and tasteless, or it sticks to the pan during cooking, and eventually burns. Therefore, they are very troubled.
Today, I'd like to share a small trick for making stir-fried meat. No matter what meat you're stir-frying, remember to add one extra step – it makes the meat tender and doesn't stick to the pan.

To make stir-fried meat tender and not stick to the pan, you just need to cut the meat into slices or chunks and don't put it in the pan directly. First, place the meat in a bowl, add soy sauce, (liao jiu - cooking wine), pepper, and mix well. You can use your hands or chopsticks to stir evenly. Then add 1 spoonful of cornstarch, mix well, and marinate for 10 minutes. To prevent the meat slices from sticking together, add 1 spoonful of cooking oil and mix well. This will prevent the meat from sticking to the pan during cooking and makes the meat slices more tender and juicy. Below, I'll share a recipe for Fish-flavored Meat Slices with Green Peppers. Just remember this extra step, and you'll make stir-fried meat that's non-stick and delicious.
----Fish-flavored Meat Slices with Green Peppers----
Ingredients:80g meat slices, 6 green peppers, 2 spoonfuls of soy sauce, 1 spoonful of vinegar, 1 spoonful of (liao jiu - cooking wine), a little salt, 1 spoonful of cornstarch, appropriate amount of pepper
Instructions:
1, Add 1 spoonful of soy sauce, 1 spoonful of (liao jiu - cooking wine), and pepper to the meat slices and mix well. Then add 1 spoonful of cornstarch, mix well, and marinate for 10 minutes. (Adding cooking oil at the end makes the meat slices not stick to the pan and makes the meat slices more tender and juicy.)

2, Heat the pan, add oil, and add the meat slices. Stir-fry until they turn color, and set aside.

Many friends know that restaurant chefs, especially when stir-frying meat slices, often first put the meat slices in hot oil and stir-fry them a few times before setting them aside. Then, they return them to the pan with the side dishes. This is because meat slices, after being in hot oil, will first cook the outer part, while the inner part has not fully cooked. The outer layer solidifies and quickly locks in the moisture of the inner meat. At the same time, the heat is gradually transferred to the inner meat, making the inner meat also cook while perfectly preserving the tender texture.
3, In the pot, don't add oil, add green pepper shreds and stir-fry over low heat. If you like soft green peppers, stir-fry for a while, if you like crispy green peppers, stir-fry for a short time, and everyone can adjust according to their own preferences.

4, Add the stir-fried meat slices and add 1 spoonful of soy sauce, 1 spoonful of fragrant vinegar, a little salt, and pepper.

5, Quickly stir-fry over high heat for a few times, and then set aside.
