Cooking Tips

Choose the Best Quality Noodles
Selecting high-quality noodles is crucial for the dish's success. Avoid noodles from wet markets that often have a bitter aftertaste, and opt for those sold in supermarkets instead. Fresh, good-quality noodles ensure the best texture and flavor for your miki dish.
Marinate the Chicken Thoroughly
To achieve rich, savory flavors, marinate the chicken fillet for at least 30 minutes. This allows the soy sauce, granulated seasoning, black pepper, and oyster sauce to deeply penetrate the meat. Well-marinated chicken enhances the overall taste of the dish.
Perfect the Stir-Fry Process
When stir-frying, make sure each ingredient is cooked separately to maintain its texture and flavor. Start with the marinated chicken, followed by the bok choy, and then the aromatics like garlic and onion. This method ensures that each component is perfectly cooked and contributes to the dish's harmony.
