You'll find several reasons that cooking Thai food in your own house is getting to be so common. Of the individuals who cook at home, some do it simply because they really really enjoy the flavors of the food. Other times, they do it mainly because it is thought to be a type of food that is simple to prepare. Some of it is because of the fact that stir fry is one of the more typical preparing strategies used to cook Thai food.
Stir fry is a very easy strategy to master, but there are still things that you should understand before you get started.
When you're stir fry food, you will use high temperatures and only cook it for a short time. This is actually the cause of the first mistake the majority of first-timers make. You completely have to have all the food preparation completed and out of the way before you begin cooking anything. First-timers usually think that they can complete the peeling and chopping when they start cooking, but that won't work. The issue is that the stir fry technique cooks so fast that there is not time for any other work.
Wanting to finish the chopping while you begin cooking will have one of 2 results. 1) Your food will burn when you work on the chopping. 2) Since half of the food will begin cooking before you add the next half, the initial half will overcook.
Another important tip about cooking with a wok is that it needs to be effectively oiled. Do not add any of the food until the wok is entirely warmed up. Your food will soak up the oil if you add it too soon. If it soaks in too much, the cooking surface will be dry and your food will probably be more unhealthy.
It is possible to add fluid if the wok surface gets dry, but be careful not to add to much at the same time. You can always add more fluid if there isn't enough but it's quite difficult to remove it if you add too much. Lots of people choose to add extra fluid in the form of broth or cooking wine rather than having to add more oil.
These tips and hints will allow you to make it through the learning curve of stir-fry a lot more rapidly. Your friends and family will likely be impressed with your food if you follow these tips.
