Chinese Cooking Tip -
Cooling Stock

Unless stocks are cooled after preparation, they are likely to turn sour. After simmering, remove from the heat, take the lid off and allow the stock to cool slowly. Use immediately or refrigerate.


Chinese Cooking Tip -
Storing Stock

Strain out all solids and vegetables before storing stocks. Use a fine cheesecake or fine mesh, and strain off the stock into airtight containers.
