Critical Success Points

  • Grating fresh ginger and garlic directly into the sauce for maximum aroma.
  • Adding the cornstarch slurry slowly to avoid clumping and achieve the right thickness.
  • Monitoring the Teriyaki reduction to prevent burning the sugars.
  • Whisking peanut butter thoroughly to avoid lumps in the Peanut sauce.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot sugar can cause severe burns – stir constantly and keep face away from the pot.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully when slicing chili; watch out for the oils that can irritate skin.
  • Steam from simmering sauces can cause burns – keep lid slightly ajar.
