Basically Chinese food is simple to cook. It doesn't need more tricks and traits. The only obligatory is to be done as possible and to get ready everything in advance before the actual cooking process starts. So before you begin try out with any recipes in your kitchen, organize all of the ingredients, measure them, slice up them, chop them, then place all the raw stuff in to the line beside the stove in the order in which they are to be added to the cooking pot. Many dishes, particularly stir fry ones, just do not allow time to turn around and scramble amid a chaos of half prepared ingredients.
The concealed secets of Chinese cooking lies, in fact in the preparation. Food is chopped, slices or cut according to certain planned rules. For really productive short-cooking dishes, all of the material should be cut or chopped to as near the same size as possible to guarantee that they are all cooked to the same degree. For very tender, almost velvet-textured meat, the meat should be shredded along the grain, for little bit crispy texture it should be sliced against. Somewhat frozen meat is much easier to slice into very thin strips in this way than meat at room temperature. Vegetable especially, are often sliced on the diagonal both for sensuous appeal and for regularity of cooking.
