See RecipeThe key to a successful stir-fry is to use high heat, cook in small batches, and constantly stir the ingredients for even cooking and to prevent burning.
To prevent rice from sticking, use day-old rice that's been refrigerated, as it's drier. Ensure the pan is hot, and don't overcrowd it. Use oil judiciously and stir frequently.
Pat the chicken skin dry, season well, and place it skin-side down in a hot pan with oil. Cook undisturbed until the skin releases easily and is golden and crisp.
Cook noodles until just underdone, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then toss with a little oil before adding to the stir-fry at the end of cooking.
To infuse flavor into steamed fish, add aromatics like ginger, garlic, and scallions to the steaming liquid and on top of the fish before steaming.
