Beef braised with tofu
Overview
I bought a large box of two pounds of beef cubes to make beef soup. I thought it might be too much, so I happened to see the tofu in the refrigerator, so I thought of it and cut a few larger pieces of beef into slices, marinated them, and will use them to make tofu tomorrow.

Add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ginger powder or ginger juice, and 1/2 tablespoon of high-strength wine. If it feels sticky when you grasp it with your hands, add 1 tablespoon of water until you feel that the water is absorbed by the beef, then add cornstarch, and spread evenly. Finally, add vegetable oil, cover the bowl, and put it in the refrigerator;
