Cooking Tip

Flavored Oil

When you flavor your oil with garlic, ginger, red chilies, or salt, always add them before the oil gets too hot. This prevents these ingredients from burning and making the oil bitter.

Cooking Tip

Thickening Mixtures

Before adding thickening mixtures like cornstarch and water to stir-fry dishes, remove the wok from the heat for a minute, otherwise sauces can end up lumpy.
