Slice thinly: Against the grain to shorten muscle fibers.

Don’t over-marinate: Too long can make delicate meats mushy.

High heat, quick cooking: Especially for stir-fry, to seal juices.

Use starch sparingly: Just enough to coat the meat lightly.

Variations

Ginger-Garlic Marinade: Add minced ginger and garlic for extra aroma and flavor.

Sweet and Savory: Add a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to the marinade.

Spicy Kick: Include chili paste or pepper for a heat-infused tender meat.
