With his current speed, Qin Huai can quickly finish slicing ten yams.
Having become familiar with yams as an ingredient, Qin Huai can easily slice yam pieces suitable for stir-frying. As for the preparation of starch water, Qin Huai is still not clear on how the starch water should vary for different ingredients. However, for fried yams, Cao Guixiang has already provided a set formula, which Qin Huai just needs to follow.
Following the formula is the easiest.
Qin Huai prepared the starch water.
He heated the oil in the pan, added the yams, and began to stir-fry.
He still waved the spatula around chaotically and without method, but Qin Huai no longer cared about these things. He will always remember Cao Guixiang saying that fire control is about heating the ingredients evenly, and that the actions are not important.
It's like when farming, the posture used to pull weeds isn't important; the goal is to remove them all.
