[Should I always use sesame oil with my stir frys?]

I have toasted sesame oil

I have only ever had london chinatown food & various local takeaways & am not sure how authentic they are but they tasted good.

I no longer live there so I am trying to recreate the tastes I enjoyed.

Thanks for your advice.

[Should I always use sesame oil with my stir frys?]

I always use sesame oil with my stir fry at the end is this right?

Are there some instances where sesame oil should never be used with certain ingredients?

Some recipes I see never use it others always do there seems to be no rule that I have discovered so far.

Look forward to your input Thank you.

Fantastic info, thanks so much for all your help & advice.

[Ginger or garlic when to add both?]

Thanks so much for both your replies.

That is just what I needed to know. I too hate the burnt garlic taste.

It always says in recipes to get the wok & oil smoking hot but then my garlic always burns.

Hello

I always thought that every chinese savoury recipe required ginger & garlic, but now I see some recipes do & some don't.

Are there rules for when to use garlic & ginger or just 1 or the other?

Many Thanks

Andy

I love these recipes as I consider them to be a great resource form a very knowledgeable cook & written so well in English.

Thank you for this great work.
