there's no need to, since you would get plenty of seasoning from the armomatics you're supposed to put in the wok first, like doubanjiang for example.

also, wet meat won't brown properly, so if you did marinade it you'd have to wipe it off before you cooked it. That's no biggie for a large cut of meat, but it's a hassle for diced meat.

Peas are actually my favorite veggy specifically because of their texture. Brocolli was actually a good addition. I wasn't sure if it would work. Next time i will do all three and see what happens.

>>12170794
True but I'm not as skilled as they are yet. I'm still very new to asian style cooking. Each time i make fried rice i crank the heat up higher. At first the rice was burning and sticking because the seasoning wasn't good enough yet and i hadn't learned to use enough oil. Now that I'm getting the hang of it I'm turning up the heat higher and higher. Tomorrow I'll make it again but with peas, broccoli, green onion and carrot. I like bean sprouts in my fried rice too but mine went bad so i have to head to the asian store for more.

>> No.12171071

>>12170834
Thanks for being honest as cooking is a learning process.

I think you have it right by having your heat up high for "asian style cooking" like stir fry, but you might be using the wrong type of oil or maybe not enough of it. Different kinds of oil burn off and become ineffective at certain temperatures, so you can't really use virgin olive oil for stir fry. It took me a while and a lot of burned, shitty dishes to learn that. You also have to consider that your kitchen stove top doesn't heat up as high as your ching chong flame grill, so there's that as well.

Two comments:
1) sesame seed oil is for finishing, not for cooking with. It's like EVOO. It has a very low smoke point. If you want to use it, add it at the end of cooking. Don't use it to cook with.

2) Sesame oil is pretty much unheard of in Chinese dishes. It's a Korean thing. If you like it, use it, but it's certainly not a traditional ingredient in fried rice.

>> No.12171315

No idea if there's a drink like that, but kids love putting stuff like peanut butter and whatnot in disk drives for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised if some little Korean kid found a jar of bean paste on a low shelf and decided to jailbreak dad's xbox with that shit.

As a side note, I found a cool article on staples for a Korean pantry if anyone is interested.

I think you may be confusing two different things.

>the first thing you learn after they teach you everything about a 'creative' trade is that now that you know the rules go throw them out the window.
That sounds perfectly reasonable.
But you don't come across as having learned the basics yet. You can't explain the logic or reasoning behind your method, so I don't think you have any knowledge at all. I think you suck ass at cooking and are buttmad that you're being called out on it.

I'll gladly STFU if you simply explain the thought process behind your method, but just like last time you can't do that. You just keep repeating yourself.

So once again, either explain why your method works better and why we should listen to you instead of centruies of tradition, or STFU. Experts can break the rules all they want, but you don't seem to be one.

Alright, so I'm guessing you know about the >Maillard reaction because it's practically a meme here. Two of the many results of the reaction are the production of water, and proteins in the food denaturing. Denaturing is the result of intra-molecular bonds being broken, which leaves the protein in a higher energy state. In order to return to a lower energy state, the protein will tend reform those bonds with any available coreactant.

You want the protein to bond with other molecules from the food, because that's where you get interesting Maillard results, and you don't want it to bond with the pan, because that's where you get sticking. The strength of this interaction is governed by Coulomb's law. The water that's produced is critical here, liquid water is a conductive solvent, whereas water vapor is not. You need enough energy to vaporize the water produced before the surfaces get a chance to come into contact. If you've ever seen a droplet of water dance around a pan (the Leidenfrost effect), that illustrates the qualitative difference between a hot pan and a pan that's hot enough to stir fry.

This takes far more heat than you expect, because water has an enormous enthalpy of vaporization, which is the extra energy you need to add to go from boiling point to actually gas. It takes one calorie to heat one gram of water by one ˚C. It takes _540_ calories to turn one gram of 100˚C water into gas. Having the ability to do that to the amount of water that's produced by your food is what makes the difference between a domestic cooker and a commercial wok stove.

>> No.12174143

>>12174123
Sure but you don’t need temps high enough to get the leidenfrost effect to get the Maillard reaction which happens above 350f. It might help things not to stick better and reduce the time it takes to accomplish the Maillard reaction but it’s not actually contributing the the flavor. Again while having that jet engine wok burner makes things faster it doesn’t make them necessarily better and it’s why I can’t taste any difference between my rice and the rice from the Chinese restaurant down the street who has one.

Two things: Liquid water cannot go above 100˚C at sea level, so even with one of those jet engines, you're not going to get any browning if the food is resting on a layer of water. Cooking in general and the Maillard reaction is not a simple linear process, different things occur at higher temperatures. As an extreme example, you don't get the same result heating a steak at 180˚C for ten minutes as you do heating it at 400˚C for two minutes.

Well I probably wouldn't have been able to tell much from a photo anyway, are you already cooking with less water than usual? I have a sneaking suspicion you might want to do the opposite. The starch in the rice is going through three stages, crystalline, gelatinized, and recrystallized (as it cools). The trick is that it recrystallizes into a different, stronger structure which resists further cooking. Any of the original form left in your rice might be cooking in the wok and making the rice softer than you want.

Chinese people do, or in Indian cooking turmeric is basically there for the colour in some dishes. Probably the majority of manufactured food contains dye, for example caramel e150 in coke, because people think it doesn't taste as sweet if it's not brown. Colour also helps you distinguish tastes, in tests where the colour of food and drink has been changed people are worse at identifying the flavour. It also just makes food look better, which affects your appetite and enjoyment.

Appearance is a perfectly reasonable goal. Imagine if all your food was the exact same shade of dull beige.

High heat is essential for carmelizing the naturally occurring sugars in the food, as well as causing the malliard reaction. Claiming that high heat serves no real purpose is just as stupid as claiming that a grilled steak is no different from stew meat.
