Serving 1 Person

Ingredients

  • Protein (150g): Cubed steak (Oyster Blade or Sirloin), chicken thigh, pork, firm tofu, or 150g King Oyster mushrooms (cut into 2cm cubes).

  • The Marinade & Sauce: 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 tsp cornstarch.

  • The Fresh Base: 1/4 red onion (cut into wedges), handful of lettuce, 1/2 cucumber (sliced), 1/2 tomato (sliced).

  • Pantry Staple: 1 tsp cooking oil.

  • Dipping Sauce: Juice of 1/2 a lime (or lemon), 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch of pepper.

Method

  1. Marinate: Toss your Protein in the Sauce Pouch and marinate for 15 minutes. While it sits, arrange the lettuce, cucumber, and tomato on a serving plate.

  2. The High-Heat Sear: Heat the oil in a pan over high heat until nearly smoking.

    • Tofu Tip: If using tofu, pat the cubes very dry before marinating. When you add them to the pan, do not move them for the first 60 seconds. This allows a crust to form so the tofu releases naturally from the pan without sticking or tearing.

    • The "Shake": Once the crust is set (or immediately for meat/mushrooms), sear for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to brown all sides. Remove the protein and set aside.

  3. Sauté Onions: In the same hot pan, toss in the red onion wedges. Stir-fry for 1 minute until they just start to soften and char.

  4. The 15-Second Toss: Return the protein and any juices to the pan. Toss everything together vigorously for 15 seconds so the sauce glazes the onions and coats the protein.

  5. Serve: Immediately pile the hot stir-fry onto the bed of fresh vegetables. Serve with the Salt & Pepper Lime dipping sauce on the side.
