Critical Success Points

  • Velveting the beef with baking soda and water
  • Ensuring the oil is hot before frying to keep the coating intact
  • Resting the marinated beef for proper flavor absorption
  • Adding the corn‑flour slurry at the end to achieve a glossy, thick sauce

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard and keep a lid nearby.
  • Handle raw beef with clean utensils; wash hands thoroughly after touching raw meat.
  • Egg white is raw – ensure the beef is cooked through before serving.
