Meat stir fry in soy sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare food. The meat should be at room temperature. I cooked pork, but you can cook the flesh of any meat this way; only the cooking time will differ slightly.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the meat and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut into slices across the grain, 1 - 1.3 cm thick. Then cut the slices into sticks about 1 cm thick.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the meat in a spacious bowl, pour in 3 tbsp. soy sauce, stir and leave to marinate for 20 minutes. The time can be increased, it is necessary for the meat to absorb the sauce. There is no need to put it in the refrigerator so that the meat remains at room temperature.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare SAUCE for pouring over fried meat. In a large glass, mix 3 tbsp. soy sauce, 3 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. 9% vinegar. In a separate container of 1 tbsp. add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch in a large heap. cooled boiled water from the total volume, stir and pour into a large glass. Add the rest of the water and mix everything thoroughly.

5. STEP 5

   

   FRY THE MEAT. 3 factors are important: - Heat the oil /4-5 minutes over high heat until smoking/. Fry no more than 200 grams at a time. Don't overcook. Fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring all the time. I fried it in three steps. The meat has lightened, crusts appear - take it out and fry the rest. Return the cooked pork to the pan, add salt if necessary and pour in the sauce that was mixed before frying. Stirring, bring to a boil, cover the pan and turn off the heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   After 5 minutes of simmering, the meat is ready. The recipe involves frying in a wok pan. If you don’t have one, you can take a cauldron or a frying pan with a high side; the bottom of the dish should be thick. High sides will protect against oil splashing and contamination of the stove. Let the finished meat rest in an open frying pan for 3 - 4 minutes and serve hot.

7. STEP 7

   

   You can serve the meat as an independent dish, supplemented with vegetables and herbs, or with a side dish. It will be good with rice and other cereals, any noodles, pasta, potatoes. The sauce has a soft, sweet and sour taste; if desired, you can add spices to taste.
