Cooking Tips for Hubei Stir-Fry:
1. Garlic cloves can be crushed with a mortar and pestle for a stronger flavor. Since there are children at home, I crushed them to make the taste milder.
2. Rinsing vermicelli noodles with cold water after boiling makes them more chewy and elastic.
3. Blanching the carrot and then rinsing with cold water makes it crispier.
