Chinese Cooking Tips

Today I would like to give you some Chinese cooking tips as below before I continue telling you more about my recipes:

* Food will sustain life and cooking should be a cultivated as an art.

* Chinese cooking has the element of Ying and Yang to balance our life if you have the right ingredients to boost your immunity.

* We must eat healthy food more vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, brown rice, fruits and we should make eating a divine pleasure.

* Chinese food must be cooked quickly and at high heat and timing is also a characteristic of Chinese cooking.

* Crabs will get bad smell first before it die and the legs will drop off if you leave it alive for more than two days.

* Do not marinate fish for too long otherwise the fish meat will become soft and tasteless.

* Do not preserve the chicken with salt for too long otherwise it will loose its original taste and become salty.

* Brush honey after the chicken is roasted otherwise honey will become bitter and the chicken will be burnt if you spread on the chicken when it is still roasting.

Happy cooking and enjoy your food!!
