A lot of my friends often wonder how I am able to cook a delicious Asian dish after a long day of work. they typically ask me, "Sope - How do you cook dinner when you work so late and commute one hour home every night?" "Where do you find the time?" I tell them it's pretty simple when you are organized, know the basic ingredients for every Asian meal, and have the ingredients ready. It's all about the preparation and organization that will make cooking any Asian meal a breeze. Most Asian meals start with the sauce, veggies and meat. Here's a quick list of what I store in my pantry on a daily basis. - Oyster Sauce (any brand will do) - Fish Sauce (I prefer the three crab, but any fish sauce will be fine) - Sugar - Chili Flakes (for a kick of spice!) There's no need to measure anything. My basic rule of thumb is - the more oyster sauce and fish sauce you put the more flavor you will get. So, if you are not a fan of strong flavor, then use a small amount. If you want more flavors then I would suggest adding more. I tend to swirl the oyster sauce bottle two round and one round of fish sauce over the meat and veggies. A sprinkle of sugar and the stir fry dish is done! You can add any type of veggies and meat to your liking. And any type of peppers to add a kick of spice to the dish. |
