Chinese Secret to Tenderizing Meat Quickly

Sprinkle baking soda evenly over the meat.

Gently massage it into the meat pieces.

Let it sit for 5 minutes (no more, or the texture might get mushy).

Rinse the meat thoroughly under cold water to remove excess baking soda.

Pat dry with paper towels before cooking.

Tips:
Use this method right before cooking.

Great for stir-fries, stews, and grilling.

Don’t skip the rinsing step or the baking soda taste may linger.

For extra flavor, marinate after tenderizing.
