Lomo Saltado — peruanisches Rinder-Pfannengericht

Pad See Ew — thailändische gebratene breite Reisnudeln
Thailand's smoky stir-fried noodle: wide, flat rice noodles tossed over fierce heat with dark soy sauce, egg, garlic and Chinese broccoli (gai lan) until the edges char and the noodles take on the prized 'wok hei' smokiness. Pad see ew is everyday street-food comfort — savoury, a little sweet, less famous abroad than pad thai but adored at home. The secret is a screaming-hot wok, working fast, and not stirring too much so the noodles catch and char.

Gebratener Pak Choi
Crisp-tender bok choy tossed in a glossy garlic, soy, and oyster-sauce glaze, this is the fast Cantonese-style side that turns up next to almost everything on a Chinese table. Screaming-hot oil plus a stems-first, leaves-last sequence keeps the stalks juicy and snappy while the leaves wilt just enough to drink up the savory sauce. It comes together in a single wok in under 20 minutes.

Thailändisches Basilikum-Hähnchen (Pad Krapow Gai)
Pad krapow gai is Thailand's beloved street-stall stir-fry: hand-chopped chicken seared hard in a screaming-hot wok with pounded garlic and bird's eye chilies, glossed with a salty-sweet sauce, and finished with a huge handful of holy basil. Chopping thighs by hand instead of using pre-ground meat gives you craggy, uneven pieces that catch the sauce, and adding the basil off the heat keeps its peppery, anise-like perfume intact. Spooned over jasmine rice with a crispy fried egg, dinner is on the table in under half an hour.

Gebratener Reis mit Schweinefleisch
Takeout-style pork fried rice built on chilled day-old rice, tender marinated pork, soft-scrambled egg, and scallions, all tossed in a savory soy-oyster sauce. The secret is dry, cold rice and a screaming-hot pan: cooking each element separately, then combining at the end, keeps the grains distinct and lightly crisped instead of gummy. A quick cornstarch-and-soy marinade means the pork stays juicy even over high heat.

Chop Suey
Chop suey is the great Chinese-American clean-out-the-crisper stir-fry: velveted chicken and a rainbow of crisp vegetables bound in a glossy, savory oyster-sauce gravy. The trick is cooking in stages over high heat — chicken first, then hard vegetables, then tender ones — so every piece keeps its snap instead of steaming into mush. A quick cornstarch slurry at the end turns the pan juices into that signature silky sauce that clings to every bite of rice.
