Notes
Reminders:
Wash the meat with water before cutting, then absorb excess water from the meat using kitchen towels.
Cook the stir-fried meat on medium to medium-high heat. When adding other ingredients, lower the heat of the stove first to prevent burning. Increase the heat again after adding the ingredient to maintain cooking temperature.
During the 20 minutes of simmering, open the lid occasionally and give the meat a few stir.
These steps should help ensure that your stir-fried meat turns out delicious and well-cooked without burning.
