Ok, this page is about, How To, cooking techniques. Just the small stuff that will help with better cooking.
Garlic: crushing utensils are annoying to me. A great tip i tiped up, from my sister-in-lae Roseanna, is to just use a small hand grater. Heaps easier!
Ginger: is so expensive, isn’t it? I just freeze a section of ginger, and use it, as i need it. You will have to grate it, as it will be a solid rock.
Pan Preparation: Always heat your pan up to the required temperature, and then add the Oil. Adding the oil, when the pan is warming up, will mean your oil will burn. Yuk!
Onion: Cooking your onions at a medium temp (this is 6 oc’clock for my electric oven) will mean a more even cook, of your onions. High heat = burnt onions; Low heat = stewed and mushy onions. Blah!
