I've heard of it but I didnt know it was oriental in origin.

Dang. I wish I had known about this before I fried up a steak yesterday. It looked tender at the grocery store, but was tough as nails on the plate.

I find with meat it is all about time. Middle Eastern preperation is the best, slow turning zt low temperature. Beautiful.

Wow, I just did this with some thin sliced round steak and made Mongolian Beef and have done it with other dishes as well. Just didn't know there was a name for it

Do you use baking soda or corn starch?

Corn starch with a bit of baking powder, not soda
