Common Questions

What's the most common mistake to avoid?

The biggest mistake is not having all ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking (mise en place). Chinese cooking moves fast — once the wok is hot, there’s no time to chop.

How can I make this spicier?

Add chili oil or chili crisp to taste, or include dried red chilies during cooking. A dash of Sichuan peppercorn adds a different kind of heat.
