Tips and Pitfalls
Steam Mushrooms with Broth
Steaming soaked agrocybe mushrooms with superior broth removes earthy astringency and infuses deep umami.
Quick Salt-Water Blanching
Blanch the cauliflower in salted boiling water just until crisp-tender to preserve bright color and crunch.
Stir-fry Bean Paste for Red Oil
Sauté the broad bean paste over medium heat with garlic and pork to draw out rich red oil without burning.
Finish with Mala Oil for Aroma
Drizzle mala chili oil right before turning off the heat and toss briefly to capture maximum numbing aroma.
