Professional Cooking Tips

  • To avoid the sauce thickening, remove a cup of sauce before adding the cornstarch or flour, and if it becomes too thick, thin it out with the cup you set aside.
  • Patience is important in this recipe. Don’t rush it; let the meat cook over low heat.
  • Adding spices to the meat in the first stage is sufficient because the ingredients ensure flavor during cooking.
  • Very important: Meat must be left to rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicy and moist meat.
