00:05 And still, celebrating their harvest here at Duran Farm,
00:09 we'll just make a quick beef con ampalaya.
00:14 First thing is, we have our beef meat here.
00:18 So what we'll do, we've demonstrated this in the past,
00:24 if you want to make your beef extra tender,
00:29 you can make a technique we call "velveting".
00:32 So basically, we have our thinly sliced beef meat,
00:36 we'll just add some baking soda.
00:40 So more or less, for every half a kilo,
00:45 you'll use about half a teaspoon.
00:50 Mix it.
00:58 And we'll just season this with some oyster sauce.
01:05 After our oyster sauce, a little bit of soy sauce.
01:14 And then our cornstarch.
01:24 [music]
01:35 And then, some sesame oil.
01:38 [music]
01:44 So let's set this aside.
01:46 Let's prepare our vegetables.
01:48 So our beef con ampalaya.
01:50 [music]
01:57 Let's just remove the middle part.
01:58 [music]
02:04 Then, let's just slice it.
02:06 [music]
02:31 And we also have chopped garlic.
02:33 Since we're going to cook this directly, once we've heated our pan,
02:38 let's make our sauce.
02:40 So we have here, let's add some oyster sauce.
02:44 A bit of sugar.
02:49 And cornstarch.
02:53 Then, water.
02:55 Let's just dissolve that.
03:02 [music]
03:06 And we can now set this on the stove.
03:08 So we're now calling for our fire, our wok.
03:13 It's also ready.
03:15 We have a hot wok here, hot oil as well.
03:23 Let's now add our beef slices.
03:28 [music]
03:58 With the same pan.
03:59 Our tomatoes.
04:04 Then, our onions.
04:24 [music]
04:27 And our garlic.
04:28 And then, our sauce that we made earlier.
04:41 So again, this is just oyster sauce with cornstarch, water, and a bit of sugar.
04:50 [music]
04:54 Since this has cornstarch, we need to mix it.
04:57 [music]
05:04 Okay.
05:05 I'm good with the seasoning.
05:08 Let's now add our bitter gourd.
05:10 [music]
05:26 And then, once we add our bitter gourd, we'll add the beef that we cooked earlier.
05:30 [music]
05:38 More soy sauce.
05:40 So that basically took me less than 10 minutes.
05:49 We can now plate.
05:51 [music]
