STYLE COOKING
1.
Choose a wok with a flat base or a big pan.
2.
Prepare all ingredients and the cooking utensils you need. Asian-style cooking should
work fast. If you want to cook a big amount of food, you should divide the food
into several portions.
3.
Preheat the wok / pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4.
Cook the meat first. Put it aside and keep it warm.
5.
Now cook the vegetable. When the vegetable is hot but still crisp, reduce the power
level. Add the meat and, if desired, a sauce.
6.
Sauté the complete food carefully so all components are hot.
7.
Serve immediately.
