Cooking tips 💡

  • Blanching seafood before cooking removes its natural odor and impurities, resulting in a cleaner, more refined taste.
  • Since this dish includes many ingredients, it may turn out too bland—adjust seasoning gradually with oyster sauce, soy sauce, or sugar to suit your preference.
