Pat the sliced meat completely dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for the velveting process and allows the seasonings to adhere better.

Cover the bowl and marinate the seasoned meat at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. This passive time allows the velveting agents to work their magic.
⏱️ 30 min - 6
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. It's important to use high heat for a quick sear.

Add a single layer of the marinated meat to the hot pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the meat is just cooked through and lightly browned. Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature and steam the meat instead of searing it, preventing the desired texture.

Remove the cooked meat from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining meat in batches, adding more oil if needed, until all the meat is cooked. Serve the super tender and juicy velvet meat immediately as part of your favorite dish.
