2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Wok sauce

Soy, oyster sauce, sugar and stock measured into one bowl before anything touches heat.

A wok gives no time to measure. Everything that goes in late is already mixed, or it goes in wrong.

Blanched noodles

Film

Noodles cooked a minute short, rinsed, oiled and left to wait for the wok.

They finish in the sauce. Fully cooked noodles go to paste in the wok within a minute.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 14 STEPS

12 photographed · 5 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 12 of the 14 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 5 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: keeping the heat high while adding cold ingredients — step 8 of 14.
