What it concludes

• Adding water to the rice until it reaches the first knuckle ensures correct water levels without traditional measuring.
• Covering the boiling rice on the lowest heat setting for two to three minutes and then turning off the heat for 10 to 12 minutes produces fluffy white rice.
• Slicing chicken into thin strips rather than cubes allows it to cook in about 60 seconds in the wok.
• Adding onions to the wok before chicken helps prevent the chicken from leaching water and cooling the wok down too quickly.
• Adding dry seasoning before the sauces helps pull water out of the mushrooms and creates a flavorful sauce at the bottom of the wok.
