Chinese Style Stir Fry Venison





It is not everyday that I get to cook venison at home . I was lucky enough to get some deer meat from the Government Agro farm @ RM30/kg.   Most of the time ,we will order this dish from the restaurant when we eat out.  So this is my first time cooking this dish at home. Stir fry venison chinese style with lots of ginger slices and black pepper and chinese cooking wine.  Hmmm ...it may not taste as good as those served in restaurants but for the Piggies this will suffice for the time being until this Momsie mastered the art of cooking venison  :))  Meanwhile the photos are for drooling ......  ^*

  6. Elin, this looks wonderful. If the venison is tender or cut thinly I would imagine this is delicious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

  8. I didn't eat venison for a loong time. I remember it was very tasty. It is hard here to find venison, so I think i will try your recipe with veal.
    Thanks for sharing.
