When we stir-fry, we generally put pork belly or lean meat, when choosing lean meat, you can choose tenderloin or plum meat, these parts are relatively tender, the fiber is softer, more fine, when stir-frying, it will not be so hard and dry, after the meat is bought, it will be refrigerated in the refrigerator for half an hour to drain acid. After that, it is washed under the faucet, and after washing, the meat is placed on the cutting board and cut into thin strips against the texture of the pork.
Along the pork grain is to cut parallel to its texture. Reverse the texture of the pork is to cut vertically according to its texture, so that the texture and fiber of the meat can be cut, and it tastes more tender and smooth, after the meat is cut, we have to marinate, put the meat in the bowl and often add a small spoon of cooking wine, a gram of white pepper, a little salt, a little baking soda, and then add some green onion and ginger water to the meat.
