Brown Rice

Brown rice is actually pretty tasty and it’s a great way to add more fiber, vitamins, and minerals into your meal. Add it to some stir-fried vegetables and chicken/tofu and you have yourself a lovely meal.

Quinoa

Quinoa is high in protein and great for vegetarians. It can be added to salads or can even be eaten for breakfast as an alternative to oatmeal.

Buckwheat

Buckwheat is gluten-free, filled with protein, fiber, and lots of vitamins and minerals Great alternative to flour when making muffins.

You Don’t Heat-Up the Pan

Adequate heat is important when you’re trying to cook using a pan. This will help bring out more complex flavors when searing meat. Also, without enough heat, sautéed foods won’t have enough color, flavor, or texture. So it’s better to allow more time for your pan to heat up before you start cooking with it.

You Don’t Add Enough Salt

Of course, you mustn’t overdo the salt when it comes to cooking. In fact, it’s easier to keep on adding salt, but nearly impossible to take it out. Unfortunately, because of this, a lot of us end up under-seasoning because we’re afraid of adding too much. The best way to remedy the situation is to keep tasting the dish as you’re cooking it.

You Don’t Read or Follow the Recipe

This is a common cooking habit which leads to a lot of wasted dishes. If you’re trying out a new recipe, read everything first from the ingredients to the procedures. Do this so you know exactly how to approach the cooking.
