The first step is preliminary preparation
In order to make a delicious homemade stir-fried cucumber slice, we first have to prepare the ingredients. Choose fresh and tender cucumbers and high-quality sliced meat as the main ingredients and cut them into moderate slices. Next, we also need to prepare some auxiliary ingredients such as minced ginger and garlic, chopped green onion, shredded red pepper, etc. to add texture and aroma. Finally, prepare a seasoning sauce consisting of light soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, white pepper, and a pinch of sugar that will provide rich flavor to the fried sliced cucumber.
The second step is to master the heat
Before we start cooking, we preheat the pan and add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pan to heat the oil to the right temperature. When the oil is hot, add minced ginger and garlic and chopped green onion and stir-fry until fragrant. Next, stir-fry the sliced meat in the pan until it changes color and maintains the tender texture of the sliced meat. At this time, you can add an appropriate amount of cooking wine to enhance the flavor. After a few more stir-frys, scoop up the slices of meat and set aside.
Step 3: Stir-fry the main ingredients
Next, pour the pre-treated slices of cucumber into the pan and quickly stir-fry over high heat. During the stir-frying process, attention should be paid to mastering the heat, not only to maintain the crispy and tender taste of the cucumber, but also to ensure that it is thoroughly cooked. When the cucumber becomes soft and discolored, add the previously fried meat slices to the pan and quickly stir-fry with a spatula. At this time, salt and white pepper can be added to taste according to personal taste, and some red pepper shreds can be added to enhance the color and taste. The stir-frying time should not be too long to maintain the crispy taste of the cucumber.
Step 4: Remove from the pan to taste
The final step is to season and plate the sliced cucumber for the final seasoning. You can add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce to extract freshness, and sprinkle with a little sugar to increase the sweetness. After stir-frying well, it is ready to come out of the pan. When serving, you can arrange the cucumber fried meat slices neatly on the plate and sprinkle some chopped green onions as a garnish. In this way, a delicious homemade stir-fried cucumber slice is complete. In the mouth, the salty sliced meat blends with the crisp cucumber, making it rich and delicious.
