My friends let me tell you...for me it's....three for free!

>ice cold Coca Cola!
So it was frozen solid?

Fuck off with your clown faggotry. We all know Burger King, is truly king. Would you really eat something based off a fagoty red nosed kiddy fiddling clown? Or eat where they have a King?

Stir-fry is a horribly broad category. It's a bit inaccurate to try and pin down exact answers to those questions for every stir-fry dish. But, generally speaking:

1) you start by cooking something aromatic--spices and fermented pastes are common.
2) You then add the other ingredients in order of cooking time. Meat goes in fairly early since it takes longer to cook. Veggies in larger pieces would be likewise. Things that cook faster would be added later.
3) Depending on the dish you might add some cornstarch-water slurry to thicken into a sauce, or maybe some oil to finish.

>>should you cook vegetables first and then meat in the same pan or vice versa?
Ideally you cook them in the same pan. But, if you have a weak ass stove then that would yield poor results, so you might have to pre-cook some of the ingredients to avoid that problem.

>>should you cook garlic/onion with meat or with vegetables?
Yes, aromatics go in first.

>>when do you add the sauce?
The idea of a "stir fry sauce" is entirely the product of shitty Western products. In China there is no such thing as a "stir fry sauce". You start the dish with the aromatics and spices that will flavor it. For many dishes that's all you add. For those that seem "saucy" that's done by adding a mixture of cornstarch and water right at the very end of cooking.

Best advice I can give is to watch episodes of the old Iron Chef show (the Japanese one that got dubbed into English). Watch anything that involves Chen Kenichi or a Chinese challenger. Ignore the banter, just pay attention to what goes into the wok in what order.

Thanks m8, there are a lot of Iron Chef videos on youtube, can you link some of your favourites?

>iron wok or whatever

That raises another important point. The whole point of a stir-fry is the crazy high heat level. That heat level browns the food, creates the malliard reaction, and carmelizes. You need a really strong flame to do that properly. Because most people's homes don't have a strong enough hob then you have to cheat. One way of doing that is to pre-cook the ingredients in advance. Another way is to use a really thick, heavy, skillet then heat it up really hot before you put the food in. You're relying on the thermal mass of the iron rather than a strong burner. (Think of it like this: if you need to spend a lot of money but your salary isn't very high, then you need to save up first. That's exactly how a thick iron pan can help).

Or you can skip all the bullshit and get something like pic related and stir-fry on that.

I had a Chef once who, when we opened in the morning, got so upset about the poor job the night shift did, that he wrecked the kitchen and made us clean it up. Not long after, I got a new gig as sous somewhere else. I can put up with normal kitchen abuse, but don't go wrecking shit and expect me to clean it up.

I had a fucker throw a frozen chicken at my head when I worked in a kitchen during high school. I ducked and laughed at him and he got fired because the owner loved me.

>MFW I have a food truck selling US-style memefood in Europe like pulled pork wraps & simple Tacos being my own boss.

You can tell its old when it mentions Detroit has car companies.

Charlie don't eat cheese.

>>9124844
how did you know my name?

>>9124844
It's pretty hairy in there

the name and the starbucks affiliation do it for me

david'stea is my preferred overpriced mall tea

>>9124776
Both are artificially flavored meme infusions.

Horribly overpriced and overmemed for something as simple as tea. I do have the gourmet shit that I can taste, but it's still cheaper.

They shrunk the size of the crispy strips.
I repeat: SMALLER CRISPY STRIPS
Fucking jews.

KFC is disgusting.

Colonel Sanders himself said the corporate structure no longer uses any of his recipes and the quality of the gravy alone was a disgusting glue texture and was "something I wouldn't even use to hang wallpaper with." Direct quote.

>>9124713
So you're telling me everyone should just use the X-99 seasoning

How about Dominos anon?

>>9124639
Why ever bother with fast food? Most of the things your fatass orders can be done at home with a better quality and lower cost. You're just too fat and lazy to attempt it.

>>9124639
big chain places are degenerate tier

if a pizza chain has more than 5-10 locations and they aren't all local or at least in state, it will be absolute shit. +1 for pizza shoppes where only 1 of them exists.

Pajeets use ghost chilies to cool off when they're not too busy watching Gary Coleman on the news, it's not that weird.

I only eat spicy food. I smoke and drink a lot so my taste buds are dead I need me a little spice. Even for breakfast I cut up a fresh jalapeño from the backyard to put in the oil I cook my bacon/sausage/eggs with so everything is nice and spicy then I get another to bite off as I eat. Comfy

>>9124447
>it doesn't make sense
Yes it fucking does, you moron. Spicy food is from hot countries, not cold ones.

The spice makes you sweat, so you cool off faster.

What flavor is that even?

The nacho cheese one was the goat.

Looks cute. I always wondered what things like this taste like. Candy, I guess.

>>9124221
This took a dark turn

>>9124244
You wondered what rice, tofu, seaweed and vegetables taste like? I'll give you a hint, it's not candy.

>>9123831
Watch Binging with Babish's video on it. It's most likely kelp or some dried sort of fishy seasoning. Something with a bunch of umami like bonito flakes, dried kelp, or anything that acts as organic msg.

>>9123846
Don't fucking say umami again.

>>9123850
U-mami sucks on my balls.
