Frequently Asked Questions
- → Comment garder le chou croquant ?
Limitez sa cuisson à 5-7 minutes. Trop cuire le chou lui retire sa texture et sa saveur. Il devrait rester légèrement ferme.
- → Peut-on anticiper la préparation ?
Coupez les légumes à l'avance. Mais faites cuire juste avant de servir pour conserver la fraîcheur des légumes et la tendreté du poulet.
- → Quoi utiliser à la place de sauce huître ?
Essayez une version végétarienne avec sauce huître aux champignons. La sauce teriyaki marche aussi bien pour varier les saveurs.
- → Astuces pour bien cuire le poulet ?
Tranchez-le en morceaux fins et réguliers pour une cuisson homogène. Évitez la surcuisson pour qu'il reste moelleux et juteux.
- → Quel accompagnement servir ?
Du riz blanc ou des nouilles sautées font d'excellents accompagnements. Vous pouvez aussi le manger seul pour un repas riche en légumes.
