Tips
- Slice onions thinly against the fibers to make them tender and absorb flavors more easily.
- Lightly pound cut chicken pieces with a knife to make them tender and allow seasonings to penetrate easily.
- Simmer seasonings over low heat for 1 minute to concentrate flavors and make them easier for the chicken to absorb.
- Do not overcook the chicken to prevent it from becoming tough.
- Separate egg whites and yolks because they solidify at different temperatures, allowing for even cooking.
- Gently stir egg whites to maintain their texture.
- When mixing remaining eggs, lightly blend whites and yolks without mixing completely to maintain texture.
- Cook eggs on very low heat to prevent them from becoming too firm.
