1. **Peel the tomatoes:** Blanching them in hot water helps release their sweet and sour flavor. For those who are lazy, you can use a food processor to chop them. 2. **Prevent the beef from having a fishy smell:** Add cooking wine when blanching the beef, and **start with cold water** to better remove the blood foam. 3. **Balance the sweet and sour taste:** Sugar can neutralize the acidity of tomatoes. It is recommended to add 1 teaspoon first, taste it, and then adjust the seasoning.
