Teacher Wen praised, "Cooking seems not to be difficult, yet it's full of details everywhere."
After Wang Fan poured the ginger and scallion water, he started to mix the beef by hand, even for the dish he was preparing for the children.
Compared to various plastic and rubber gloves, hands are actually cleaner, because even unopened gloves are hard to guarantee to be clean, and it's especially hard to wash off the things that stick to gloves from the food, especially meat.
Hands are different; the sticky feeling after handling food is quite unpleasant, prompting frequent washing. If anything on the hands ends up on kitchen tools like knives or woks, no responsible chef could tolerate it.
Wang Fan gently mixed with one hand while cracking eggs with the other, pouring egg whites into the bowl and putting egg yolks into another small bowl to use later for cooking.
