Recipe tips
Items to be cooked keep
sticking to the wok
The oil is smoking
The vegetables are too soft
and overcooked
Heat up the wok, at the same
time use three tablespoons of
salt and the spatula to loosen
all impurities. Then wipe the
wok out with a towel. From
then on clean it only with hot
water, do not use any more
cleaners. Start again with
somewhat more heat.
Smoking oil is not beneficial
to health: Pour the oil into a
heat resistant container to
cool down and then dispose
of it. Cool the overheated
wok with warm water, pour
the water off then wipe the
wok out. Start again with
fresh oil.
Dice some fresh vegetables
and blend them in still raw.
The vegetables are still
raw
The cooked dish is too
spicy
The cooked dish tastes too
insipid
Re-cook the vegetables, ideally
in small portions and with
constant stirring, until they
are al dente.
Blend in small cubes of pine-
apple, mango or tomato and
attenuate with coconut milk
or use smoothly stirred low-fat
yoghurt. Do not re-heat the
cooked dish.
Add in soya sauce, scraped
ginger, pressed garlic, chop-
ped herbs and sesame oil or
another seasoning oil.
The cooked dish is too dry
Too much sauce has
been created
There is too little sauce
Add coconut milk, stock or
soya sauce until sufficient
sauce is created.
Lift the firm ingredients from
the wok, allow the sauce to
boil down quickly and under
high heat, mix the ingredients
back in and make another
taste check.
Mix in 100- 200 g soyabean
shoots or boil up a small-
cubed potato and carrot, as
well as 100 g frozen peas,
then blend them in. Make a
taste check.
