tips:
1) If there is a lot of soup remain then uncover use high heat to boil until reduced.
2) The soup remain is good for rice and noodles
3)When fry sugar, how is fry good?
——The fire must be small! If necessary, you can lift the pot a little bit away from the fire, shake the bottom of the pot, or use a shovel to gently pull it to promote even heating. When there are no solid particles, pay more attention to the observation. The sugar will become a kind of more viscous sugar, and then the color will turn to tea. This time is OK! In fact, the so-called sugar color is very similar to caramel... Don't wait for the sugar to turn black! If you are unlucky to turn black or smell the obvious paste, please brush off the pot and stir fry again. Otherwise, the whole dish will be sticky and bitter.
4) If don't have dark one then add 8tbs soy sause, dark soy sauses are only for color
