Trump's pissed at us.
What? You think he's gonna do all the work for us?
All of the people on this board want a conservative world and a humane society. Yet here most people are sitting around waiting for something to happen.
Run for elections. Speak up. Sue someone. It took 2.5% of woke-tards to change our society yet we are the 70+%. If everyone on this fucking board stood up for their principles this would be over within a week.
If you don't have the wherewithal to do something, just post a bunch of shit on SOCIAL MEDIA and FLOOD THE FUCK OUT OF THEM.
Do your part. Build this world. HELP THE FIGHT.
Big heat, lowest possible time for perfection (unless you have to slow cook any 'tougher' meats). The dudes in China do it on a rocket burner, awesome theatre. Can't take your eye of the beggar though...
For soup-style or potsticker types, it sounds like you're doing the exact right thing, just gotta stand over it all the way. It's tactile, grab a bit out of the pan and test as you go (chefs treats!).
You're totally right in your observations, it changes in an instant- all the flavours go through 'notes' like music- try to feel, smell, hear and taste them in that guise.
There's a lovely simple chicken thigh recipe I've used before, it's so forgiving it doesn't mind an extra bit of time if something else is cooking. You can add any flavours you want to it, versatile as you like. Monica Galetti recipe:

She does with coconut rice, which is great too but can be subbed.
You are so right, in general western food is comforting, slow and forgiving. If your ducks aren't in a row with eastern food often it's a tangle (unless it's a low ingredient choice as above).
'Mis en Place' is the way- prep, prep, prep. Then go at that wok like a proper loon. If anyone is within 10 feet they're going to be at risk. The theatre is all a part of the fun!!
