Tips

  • When cooking sour ingredients like pickled mustard greens or bamboo shoots, it's essential to stir-fry them first to make them chewier and prevent them from becoming mushy during braising or cooking.
  • Always taste sour ingredients before cooking; if they are too sour, add sugar to balance the acidity.
  • Braiding with Coca-Cola instead of coconut water enhances the flavor and makes the meat more tender and flavorful.
