Notes

  • Preparing soya chunks – Make sure to cook soya chunks well, rinse well and squeeze water.
  • Chop big chunks – Cut the soaked chunks in half so the flavors absorb better.
  • Fry just enough – Don’t over-fry the chunks or they’ll turn hard. Lightly crisp is enough.
  • Prep sauces ahead – Mix your sauces before starting to make the stir-fry fast.
  • Quick toss – After adding soya chunks to the sauce, toss quickly and don’t cook for too long.
  • Add corn slurry only if needed – If the sauce feels too thin, a little slurry helps thicken it.
