Best Answer

Usually you add meat, veggies, or whatever you are cooking about 30 seconds after you saute the aromatics. In larger pieces of food, oil that is not hot enough will soak into your food, ruining the texture and making it taste greasy. Have you ever started frying chicken, pork chops, fish or french fries in oil that was not hot enough? They probably ended up greasy and yucky. Having the oil hot ensures that the food will immediately start to cook with out having to heat up, burning and imparting a bitter taste to your garlic, ginger or onions in the process.

Could you give me some cooking recipes?

I know of one recipe to make some delicious chili. The ingredients call for ground beef, beef broth, red/green peppers, black/kidney beans, onions, garlic, and corn. Slice your onions and garlic, add oil to a pot, and add the onions and garlic. Next, add the ground beef and cook until well done. Add the remaining ingredients and pour in the beef broth and let simmer for 30 minutes. Pour into bowls and serve. Sometimes I like to add pasta to the chili.
