1. 1

   Cut the beef or pork (200-300g) into thin strips. Place in a bowl and add ☆soy sauce (1 tsp) and ☆sake (1 tsp). Add ☆cornstarch (1 tsp) and massage gently. Let sit for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove seeds and white parts from the 2 bell peppers and cut into thin strips. Blanch the canned bamboo shoots (1 package) briefly, then drain well.

3. 3

   Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir-fry the peppers and bamboo shoots. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Once the peppers become glossy, transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   Add more sesame oil if needed and place the marinated meat in the pan without breaking it apart. Flatten it with a wooden spatula and cook over medium heat without stirring.

5. 5

   Wait until the bottom half of the meat turns white and develops a nice sear, then flip and break apart. Add the vegetables back in and stir-fry together.

6. 6

   Add the ★ seasonings: oyster sauce (1 tbsp), sake (1 tbsp), mirin (1 tbsp), soy sauce (1 tsp), and sugar (1 tsp). Increase heat to high and stir-fry everything together quickly.

   Plate and serve.

When stir-frying the peppers and bamboo shoots, lightly season with salt and pepper to prevent the final dish from tasting bland. The savory, charred edges of the meat are an important part of the flavor.
