Tips:
* Vegetables need to be blanched and boiled separately. The goal to be achieved is to make vegetables with a crisp texture (such as green beans) become more green and crispy due to blanching; let vegetables with a soft and waxy texture (such as okra) keep their own Personality
* Green vegetables blanched in salt water will become brighter and greener. When blanching, you need to open the lid to facilitate the acidity to dissipate and keep the chlorophyll bright.
* Both mirin and sake are seasoned alcoholic beverages, but their tastes are quite different and cannot be substituted for each other. Mirin can add a unique sweet aroma to the dishes, and will have an attractive aroma when heated together with sake;
* You can refrigerate the garlic before pouring in the garlic oil. When serving, use garlic oil to season and garnish with garlic slices. If you want to keep the garlic slices crispy, you can put them in the refrigerator and freeze them. In a dry, cold environment, the garlic slices can keep the taste from being damp. ;
* The weighing unit mentioned in the article: 1 tablespoon = 1 table spoon / 1 teaspoon = 1 tea spoon / 1 cup = 1 cup
