Sunayana’s Tips –

1.Chinese food is known for its ‘CRUNCHINESS’. Therefore, all the cooking has to be done on ‘High Flame’ while stirring quickly . NEVER ‘OVER-COOK’ VEGGIES IN A CHINESE PREPARATION.

2.While adding ‘Salt’, be careful that all the sauces that we have used here contain a good amount of salt . So, do not forget to adjust the quantity of salt in the dish accordingly .

3.You can adjust the quantity of sauces to suit your taste buds . For instance , if you do not like ‘Spicy’, then reduce the amount of chilly sauce .

4.You can also use ‘Leftover Rice’ to make this dish.
