Hint For Proper Chinese Chowing (Stir-Frying) Recipe - Cooking Index
Hints For Proper Chinese Chowing |
1. Always have everything totally prepared, chopped, mixed, sliced, before you turn on the wok.
2. Heat the wok first, then add the oil and ingredients. "Hot wok, cold oil, foods won't stick." If using an electric stove rather than gas leave the burner on high and control the heat by moving the wok off and on the burner.
3 . Use fresh ingredients as often as possible.
4. Do not overcook the food.
5. Serve the dish the moment it is done, no matter what is going on at the table. An old Chinese proverb says, "A man should wait for the dish. The dish should never wait for the man."
