What are the important and neglected cooking skills?

Every time a friend of mine cooks, no matter what it is, it can be cooked like a stew. At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong with her process until I went to her home once.

For example, when we cook vegetables, we usually fry them with some water (sprinkle a little and stir them evenly so as not to make the dried vegetables burn), but she throws in half a bowl of water every time and finally dries them. The vegetables are cooked, but they are really delicious.

In fact, it is best to use some water when frying many vegetables, such as shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cauliflower and lotus root slices. As for vegetables, there is no need to drain at all, and your own water will be released.

2. the wonderful use of Chili oil

I always keep a lot of spices at home, but the most indispensable thing is pepper oil. It can replace pepper and won't eat pepper seeds at the same time. In addition, for dishes such as shredded potatoes, mapo tofu, fried pork ear slices, you sprinkle a little before cooking, and the taste of the whole dish is instantly lifted. I usually add some ingredients to fish-flavored shredded pork and spicy pot. ?

3. Onion+Braised pork

My husband likes meat very much. He used to cook braised pork, but later he learned this trick for a while. As long as an onion can make crispy onion braised pork rice in an instant, he will give it to everyone.

Shred onions and fry them in oil. Afraid of wasting oil, fry it in a non-stick pan. Be sure to make the shredded onion brittle (be careful not to burn it). Then stew the meat according to the normal process. After adding water, you can throw the fried onions in. The braised pork out of the pot is not the same as usual.

4. Optimum proportion of sweet and sour

The proportion of sweet and sour is very annoying. I used to cook a sweet and sour dish casually, but the result was either sour or sweet. Later, I mastered a trick. There will be no problem when the ratio of sweet and sour is two. No matter what measure you use, as long as you keep this ratio, you won't go wrong.

Say this first, and then add it when you think about it.
