[Step 2]: Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, remove and clean the roots of the bean sprouts, cut the ginger into slices, cut the garlic into slices, cut the green and red peppers into rings, cut the coriander into small sections, and then put them on plates separately for later use.
[Step 3]: Prepare a large bowl, put the sweet potato starch in it, then use boiling water to melt the sweet potato starch, stir it into a starch paste, use chopsticks to dip the starch paste into it and let it drip down.
[Step 4]: Put the marinated meat slices into the starch paste, mix evenly with your hands, and coat the meat slices with the starch paste.
[Step 5]: Heat a spoonful of oil in a pot, add ginger, garlic, and 2 spoons of yellow lantern sauce, stir-fry over low heat until fragrant, pour tomatoes into the pot and stir-fry until juice comes out.
[Step 6]: Stir-fry the tomatoes to produce juice, pour in a bowl of water, bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 5 minutes to simmer out the flavor of the seasoning.

[Step 8]: Turn on low heat and keep the pot slightly open, put the meat slices coated with starch into the pot one by one, and continue to cook the meat slices over low heat to finalize the shape.
