Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes for optimal tenderness.
  • Sear the beef over high heat for only 1 minute to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use already cooked and cooled rice to achieve a non‑sticky stir‑fry.
  • Adjust the balance of lemon, salt and sugar in the accompaniment sauce.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle knives carefully to avoid cuts.
  • Very hot oil can splatter; keep the wok away from your face.
  • Lemon can irritate eyes; avoid direct contact.
