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 should I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Most Chinese dishes reheat well on the stovetop over medium heat.
How can I reduce the spice level?
Reduce or omit the chili oil and fresh chilies. Add a splash of sugar or serve with plain rice to balance the heat. You can also stir in a little coconut milk at the end.
