Recipe 🍳

Roast green onion, ginger, and onion in a pan until browned and smoky, enhancing flavor and aroma.
Add mirin, soju, tuna essence, and sugar to the roasted vegetables, then simmer gently to create the special teriyaki sauce.
Dice green bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, green onion, garlic, and asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
Season cubed beef with a splash of soy sauce, potato starch, and egg wash; rub thoroughly for even marination.
Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry the marinated beef gently until cooked through, then set aside separately.
Add chili peppers and prepared vegetables to the same pan and stir-fry. Mix in the prepared sauce, black pepper, and lemon juice, then quickly combine with the cooked beef to finish.

Roast vegetables in a pan, then add seasonings to make the special teriyaki sauce by simmering.
Prepare beef and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Coat beef with starch and egg wash for a smooth, tender marinade.
Stir-fry beef first, remove from pan, then stir-fry vegetables.
Add sauce, lemon juice, and pepper, then toss together with beef and vegetables to complete.

Cooking tips 💡

Adding tuna essence to the teriyaki sauce enhances the rich, savory depth characteristic of Chinese cuisine.
Coating beef with a thin layer of starch and egg wash before cooking helps retain juices, resulting in a much juicier and softer texture.
