Cooking tips

  • Since Chinese cooking is fast-paced, adding seasonings one at a time while stir-frying can easily lead to burning. The key to success is preparing the sauce in advance in a single bowl.
  • In restaurants, beef is often lightly coated with starch and egg before frying, but at home, slicing the beef thinly and stir-frying directly yields equally tender results.
  • Any leftover black pepper sauce that remains slightly runny is rich in flavor—perfect for mixing into warm rice as a delicious rice bowl dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a restaurant-quality Chinese-style beef dish at home.
  • People looking for a refreshing, clean-tasting drink companion with a crisp texture and bold black pepper aroma.
