字幕原文

Seasoning is where a dish really comes alive. 调料一放,一道菜才算真正有了灵魂。

I add a pinch of salt to start — 我先放一小撮盐打个底——

you can always add more, but you can't take it out. 淡了随时能加,咸了可就拿不出来了。

I sprinkle in some pepper, 撒上点胡椒粉,

then drizzle a little soy sauce around the edge of the pan so it caramelizes as it hits the heat. 再沿着锅边淋一圈酱油,让它受热激出焦香味。

I give everything a good stir and grab a clean spoon to taste as I go. 好好翻炒均匀,拿个干净勺子边做边尝尝味道。

Hmm — it needs a touch more salt, 嗯——还得再补点盐,

and maybe a squeeze of lemon to brighten it up. 或许再挤点柠檬汁提提鲜。

I add them bit by bit, tasting again after each one. 我一点点地加,每放一次就再尝一口。

Cooking taught me something about life, actually: you adjust as you go, 其实做饭也教会了我一些人生的道理:得边走边调整,

a little at a time, 一点一点来,

instead of dumping everything in at once and hoping for the best. 而不是一股脑全倒进去,然后只能听天由命。

One last taste — there it is, that's the one. 最后再尝一口——有了,就是这个味儿。

I turn off the heat, happy with how it came together. 关火,对最后做出来的味道相当满意。
