The strategies used for this embody marinating in water (!), slicing thinly towards the grain, and ‘velveting’, i.e. passing the meat briefly by way of sizzling oil as a primary cooking step. Because the cooking needs to be executed in a short time, it was arduous to {photograph} the steps with out overcooking the dish.

That is good with a pink wine that may deal with the flavour of the oyster sauce, like a Zinfandel / Primitivo. That is truly the identical grape selection, which is known as Primitivo in Puglia in Southern Italy and Zinfandel in California. The wine needs to be fruity but not too acidic. Another choice may very well be an excellent cru du Beaujolais or Valpolicella Ripasso.
