Critical Success Points

  • Slice the meat against the grain into very thin slices
  • Let the baking soda marinade act for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly
  • Sear the meat in small batches so it doesn't lose too much juice

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a distance and use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Avoid burns when handling a very hot wok.
