The Right Way To Add Sauce To Your Stir-Fry
BY KAT LIEU
To add the sauce to your stir-fry like an experienced Cantonese chef, pour it around the perimeter of the wok, rather than dumping it all into the fiery center.
This will allow the sauce to absorb all the smoky flavors from the wide rims, blanket all the ingredients, and heat gradually rather than turning into steam.
After adding the sauce, quickly toss and stir your ingredients. This will ensure the sauce evenly coats the ingredients and glistens with the sauce.
Pouring the sauce in this way will make each bite of your dish filled with flavor, retaining the crispiness of the veggies and the tenderness of the proteins.
