SEAFOOD

Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. Seafood

stir-frying as the continuous stirring usually breaks more delicate fish

into flakes.

TILAPIA

portant fish worldwide and in-
creases annually. Tilapia is very

fatty acids and cholesterol in
the arteries and blood vessels.

82 - QUICK & DELICIOUS RECIPES COOKING TIPS &
TECHNIQUES

Our cooking tips have been put together to help you save time, save
money and save a few tears when cooking in the kitchen. Stir-frying is a
wonderful technique and once learned will definitely become your go to

meal most days of the week!

CUT IN SMALL PIECES

For well-seasoned meats use
boneless meat (or chicken) cut
into small, thin pieces. Your meat
will season very quickly and it
also gives you a faster cooking
time!

SCRAMBLE EGGS

When adding egg to fried rice or
other stir fry dishes, it is recom-
mended that you fry the eggs
separately or on the side of your
frying pan before adding it to
the dish. This will avoid sticky
fried rice and soggy mess on the
plate.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE 83 - QUICK & DELICIOUS RECIPES

With a quick multi-part cooking
process like a stir-fry, organiza-
tion is key. Have all ingredients
prepped in easy-to-reach-for
bowls, and have all necessary
utensils, bowls, and serving
plates immediately on hand.

USE COLD RICE

If you start with sticky, warm,
just-cooked rice, your fried rice
will turn out soggy. Instead,
make sure the rice is cold. Ideal-
ly, they say rice cooked the day
before and refrigerated is the
best rice for fried rice!

HIGH HEAT

Good stir-fry technique is to use
super high heat, so that meat
can cook quickly and retain its
moisture and tenderness. So,
make sure you turn it up, espe-
cially when it gets to frying the
protein.

84 - QUICK & DELICIOUS RECIPES STEAM FOR SAUCE

When making your stir-fry, you
need a hot pan and very little oil!
If you’re the ‘saucy’ type, just
cover the frying pan during the
last 30-60 seconds of cooking to
retain moisture through steam
and your delicious stir-fry sauce
will never dry out!

COOK HARD FIRST

Over-cooking your vegetables
may reduce more of its nutri-
ents. Add harder vegetables like
carrots and cauliflower a minute
or two before the soft ones and
use fresh vegetables to ensure
you get the desired vitamins to
stay healthy!

POWER COMBO

Garlic, ginger and onions are a
trinity of roots and herbs known
as the powerhouse combo!
They are great for healing hun-
dreds of illnesses! So use regu-
larly and freely to maintain good
energy, potency, health and im-
mune strength.

NO MORE TEARS 85 - QUICK & DELICIOUS RECIPES

No, it’s not a bad breakup sto-
ry…it’s the onions! Just leave
the root of the onion on before
you cut it – this avoids the lay-
ers from releasing the sulfuric
compounds which makes us cry!
Now we can all put away our
hankies and say goodbye to on-
ion tears!

SPOON GINGER

Now there’s an easy way to peel
ginger. Don’t hack with a knife
and throw most of your ginger
away. Just use a spoon! The
spoon’s edge effortlessly lifts off
the skin leaving more ginger to
enjoy! You’ll never use a knife to
peel ginger again!

EASY WRAP ROLLS

Follow this easy technique to
roll your spring roll like a pro-
fessional. This envelope tech-
nique will have your spring rolls
looking store bought and deli-
cious.
