| 1. Use enough oil when stir-frying. This gives best
results. If worried about cholesterol and fats in oil,
use canola oil - the best oil to use for stir-frying.
2. Try using salt instead of soy sauce. It gives it
a nicer color, and tastes better.
3. Cut your ingredients into even sized pieces for
best cooking results.
4. Cook the denser ingredients first. Since they take
longer time to cook.
5. Use ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper to spice
up your Chinese cooking and also improve your health.
6. Blanche dense vegetables before cooking for best
results. For example, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower.
7. You can use starch water to thicken sauces.
8. Prepare your cooking ingredients ahead of time,
so you're never rushed.
9. Try using all types of Chinese cooking ingredients
such as dried fungus, Chinese mushrooms, yu choy, Chinese
broccoli etc...
10. When cooking something, it should look good, smell
good, and most of all, taste good.
Okay, so #10 wasn't really a tip... But it's the truth.
Everyone wants their food to look, smell, and taste
good. Don't you?
