Cooking Tips for Helpers
- Set the rice cooker 30 minutes before any stir-fry — rice takes the longest.
- Pre-cut all vegetables in the morning for evening meals.
- Stir-fries, omelettes, and scrambled eggs are the fastest cooking methods.
- Keep a well-stocked pantry — running out of soy sauce should not happen.
