ONE QUESTION, A BETTER DINNER

Three questions before following a recipe

Practical cooking notes for the ingredients and tools you have today. Start with decisions you can put to use right away.

Does your stir-fry keep turning soft?

Watch for water pooling after ingredients enter the pan. Even at the same heat, smaller batches can let moisture escape more easily. On your next attempt, change one condition at a time instead of changing both quantity and heat.
