Cooking tips

  • Vegetables and seafood must be stir-fried over high heat to prevent moisture buildup and achieve proper smokiness.
  • Do not overheat bell peppers, as they lose their color and crisp texture; add them last and stir-fry briefly.
  • Serve with steamed flower buns for an elegant Chinese-style meal experience.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer light, clean, seafood-centered dishes instead of meat.
  • People looking for an impressive Chinese main course to serve guests at gatherings or special occasions.
  • Fans of spicy chili oil aroma and satisfyingly crunchy vegetable textures.
