FAQ How to Cook Kale Hotplate

1. How do you get the sizzling sound effect like in a restaurant?

You need to heat an empty hotplate on the stove over medium heat until it is really hot before pouring the food. As soon as the freshly cooked food is poured onto the hot iron plate, a sizzling sound effect and hot steam will immediately appear.

2. Can chicken meat be replaced with other types of protein?

Of course, you can replace it with thinly sliced ​​beef, shrimp or squid according to your taste. Make sure the cooking time is adjusted to the type of protein used so that it is not too tough or overcooked.

3. Why are tomatoes put twice (mashed and sliced)?

Pureed tomatoes serve to provide a base of fresh sour taste and texture to the spices, while sliced ​​tomatoes provide an attractive visual appearance and a juicy sensation when bitten.

4. Does the shrimp paste need to be burned first before being added?

Even though the shrimp paste is included in the cooking step when stir-frying, burning it first will help release a sharper and more delicious aroma. However, if you use ready-to-use blocks of shrimp paste, sautéing it directly with the spices is quite effective.

5. How do you keep kale from turning black after cooking?

Use high heat when adding the kale and cook for a short time (no more than 2 minutes). Also make sure you add the kale only after the spices and chicken are completely cooked.
