🍴 Ingredients
1 lb (450g) meat, sliced thin (¼–½ inch thick)
¾ tsp baking soda (for every 12 oz / 350g of meat)
1–2 tbsp water (optional, for even coating)
⚠️ Never exceed 1 tsp per pound — too much causes soapy taste and mushy texture.
🍳 Instructions
Slice the meat thinly
Cut against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Coat with baking soda
Sprinkle baking soda evenly over meat.
Add a splash of water if needed to help it stick.
Toss gently to coat all pieces.
Rest for 15–20 minutes
Let sit at room temperature (don’t exceed 20 mins — risk of mushiness).
Rinse thoroughly
Rinse under cold water until no slippery residue remains.
This step is crucial — removes excess soda and prevents off-flavors.
Pat dry
Use paper towels to remove moisture before cooking.
Cook as usual
Stir-fry, grill, or pan-sear immediately.
Season normally — the meat will absorb flavors beautifully.
🔥 Pro Tip: Combine with a marinade (soy sauce, garlic, cornstarch) after rinsing for restaurant-quality results.
