also very tasty with turkey or chicken

Rinse the meat with cold water, pat dry, and cut into bite-sized cubes, then season with salt. Slice the leek into thin rings, drain the bamboo shoots, and finely chop the ginger and garlic. Mix the cornstarch with a little water. In another bowl, combine the sake with a pinch of salt, vinegar, and sugar, then stir in the dissolved cornstarch. Heat the oil in a pan and sear the meat. Add the garlic, ginger, and leek to the pan and fry until the meat is fully cooked. Then add the tomato paste and bamboo shoots to the pan and fry briefly. Finally, add the sake, vinegar, and starch mixture and season to taste. (If necessary, you can add more dissolved cornstarch or water until the desired consistency is reached—it’s a matter of taste.) Egg noodles or rice go very well with this dish.
