No coming back

Things that actually went wrong over 20 years in a kitchen.

• Too low a heat draws out water and leaves the stir-fry tasting weak.
• A sugary marinade scorches easily, so adjust the heat at the end.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• There is little liquid here, so water thins the meat flavor along with the salt. If it is too salty, stretch it with stock only, a little at a time.

Storage

Once cooked, keeps 3 days refrigerated. Can be frozen for 30 days.
