    Medium-low · 0.5–1 min中小火 · 30–60秒

    Spices smell toasted, without smoking.香料出香,不冒烟。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If spices darken or smell burnt, discard and start again; burnt spice is bitter.香料变黑或焦味就倒掉重来,焦香料发苦。

  2. Add the chicken, spread it out 1 minute, then stir-fry.

    下鸡丁摊开煎1分钟,再翻炒。

    Medium-high · 5–6 min中大火 · 5–6分钟

    The thickest center reads 165°F (74°C) on a food thermometer; color alone is not proof.食品温度计测最厚中心达165°F (74°C),不能只看颜色。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If below the target, keep cooking in 2-minute increments and measure again; clean the thermometer before checking cooked food.温度未达标时,每次继续加热2分钟再测;测熟食前先清洁探针。

  3. Add the garlic and scallions and stir 30 seconds.

    加蒜和葱,翻炒出香。

    Medium-high · 0.5 min中大火 · 30秒

    Garlic smells fragrant and is pale gold at most.蒜出香味,最多浅金色。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    Brown garlic tastes bitter: take the pan off heat, wipe it and restart with fresh garlic.蒜变褐会苦:离火擦锅,换新蒜重来。

  4. Stir the sauce cup, pour it in and toss.

    碗汁搅匀倒入,翻炒。

    Medium-high · 1 min中大火 · 1分钟

    Sauce coats the back of a spoon and a finger line stays clear.酱汁挂住勺背,手指划线不合拢。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If thin, simmer 2 more minutes; if too thick, stir in 2 tbsp broth or water.太稀再煮2分钟;太稠拌入2大匙高汤或水。

  5. Turn off the heat, stir in the peanuts and serve over rice. Do not eat the whole chilies.

    关火拌入花生,配米饭。整个辣椒别吃。

    No heat · 1 min不开火 · 1分钟

    Every piece is glossy and coated; serve right away so the coating stays crisp.每块都裹上亮汁,马上吃才脆。

    Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪,怎么补救

    If the sauce is too thick to coat, stir in 1 tbsp water.酱太稠裹不开就加1大匙水。

Know your ingredients认识食材

Ingredients explained食材讲解

  • Chicken鸡肉

    Thighs stay juicy and forgiving; breasts are leanest. Look for pink, firm meat with no sour smell.鸡腿肉嫩不易柴,鸡胸最低脂。选粉色、紧实、无异味的。

  • Peanuts花生

    Protein and healthy fat; roast for depth. Watch for allergies at the table.蛋白和健康脂肪;烘过更香。注意同桌有没有过敏。

  • Scallions葱

    Whites for cooking, greens for garnish. Regrow roots in a glass of water.葱白下锅,葱绿点缀。根泡水能再长。

  • Soy sauce酱油

    Umami and salt in one. Low-sodium versions cut ~40% salt.鲜和咸一次到位。低钠款少约四成盐。

  • Rice vinegar米醋

    Rice vinegar is mild for Asian dressings and quick pickles; white vinegar is sharper — use less.米醋温和,适合亚洲凉拌和快腌;白醋更冲,要少放。

  • Sugar白糖

    A little sugar balances salt and acidity; add gradually and taste as you go.少量糖能平衡咸和酸;分次加,边尝边调。

  • Cornstarch玉米淀粉

    Thickens sauces glossy and crisps coatings. Mix with cold water first to avoid lumps.玉米淀粉让酱汁浓稠发亮、裹粉更脆。先用冷水调开防结块。

Cookware厨具

  • Knife, stable board, measuring cups/spoons, mixing bowl, spoon and sieve刀、稳定砧板、量杯量匙、拌碗、勺和筛子
  • Wok or 30-cm skillet, kitchen scissors, food thermometer炒锅或30厘米锅、厨房剪、食品温度计

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议

Balanced plate: ½ vegetables (roasted broccoli, green salad), ¼ this protein, ¼ starch (sweet potato, rice or bread).均衡一盘:½蔬菜(烤西兰花、绿叶沙拉)、¼这道蛋白、¼主食(红薯、米饭或面包)。

Why it works: aim for half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains or starch — then let one rich dish be the star.搭配思路:半盘蔬菜、四分之一蛋白、四分之一主食;一桌里只让一道浓郁的菜当主角。
