Instructions for Cooking Buffalo Stir-fried with Wild Betel Leaves

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

• Wash the Allana buffalo meat, soak it briefly in a little white wine for about 10 minutes to remove any odor, then rinse again with clean water and drain.
• Slice the meat thinly, against the grain, into wide pieces so the meat does not become tough when stir-frying.
• Wash the wild betel leaves, and cut into bite-sized segments (about the length of one finger joint).
• Peel the garlic, crush, and mince finely.

Step 2: Marinate the buffalo meat

• Place the buffalo meat in a bowl and marinate with:
• • 2/3 of the minced garlic
  • 1/2 tablespoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of MSG
• Mix well and let the meat absorb the seasoning for about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Stir-fry the Buffalo Meat with Wild Betel Leaves

• Place the pan on the stove and heat the cooking oil.
• Sauté the remaining minced garlic until fragrant.
• Turn the heat up high, add the buffalo meat, and stir-fry quickly for 3–5 minutes until the meat is just cooked.
• Add the wild betel leaves, toss quickly, and immediately turn off the heat to preserve the aroma and tenderness of the meat.
• Season again to your family's taste.

Tips for a Better Buffalo Stir-fry

• Always stir-fry buffalo meat over high heat for a short time to keep the meat tender and prevent it from releasing water.
• Cutting the meat correctly against the grain is a crucial factor in ensuring the dish is not chewy.
• The wild betel leaves should only be added at the very end and quickly tossed to retain their distinct aroma.
• You can add a little ground pepper after turning off the heat to enhance the flavor.
