Defrosting Raw Food is Not Necessary
Waiting for raw food to completely defrost can significantly increase cooking time. By cooking seafood or meat directly from the freezer, the juices from the thawing fish or meat will enhance the flavor of the dish when mixed into the sauce or stir-fry. This method often results in a more delicious outcome.

Use Boiling Water When Cooking
Boiling water can be used for many purposes, such as boiling vegetables, tenderizing meat, preparing dishes, blanching chicken, etc. If you’re in need of a quick meal, you can use leftover ingredients from previous meals. Simply put some egg noodles, soup powder or soup base, sugar, sliced carrots, green onions, vegetables, garlic, and chili in a saucepan. Boil for about 5-10 minutes and you’ll have a delicious and quick soup.

Slice Meat thinly in No Time
Thinly slicing, mincing, or shredding meat can be time-consuming. To speed up the process, put the meat in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, while you prepare the other ingredients. When you take it out, the meat will be firm and easier to cut, allowing you to shred it more quickly than usual.

Use a Griddle or Cast Iron Pan for Faster Cooking
To save time, consider using a griddle, tile, or brick instead of an oven. These options will cook the food faster and give it a better aroma compared to baking in an oven.
If you still prefer baking in the oven, use a cast iron pan with a thin layer of oil. Preheat the pan in the oven and then place the food inside. The hot pan will ensure the food cooks quickly and develops a nice charred edge.
