Article: Because stir frying happens so quickly, it's a good idea to have all of your food ready to go before you start cooking. Chop and slice all of the aromatics, protein, and vegetables before heating the wok. Place them in bowls right beside the stove top, so you can reach them easily when it's time to toss them into the wok. Try to cut all of the food into the same size pieces, so they'll cook at roughly the same time. Aim for bite-size pieces. Before you start adding ingredients to the wok, you'll need to heat it for several minutes on high. You'll know that it's sufficiently heated when you drop a bead of water into the wok and it evaporates immediately. Next, drizzle approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of your oil of choice down the side of the wok; it may smoke slightly, but be sure to swirl the wok so the entire surface is coated with the oil. While some faint smoke is normal when you add the oil, an excessive amount indicates that you've overheated the wok. Let it cool off before continuing. For stir frying, use an oil that has a high smoke point so it can withstand the high temperatures without burning. Some oils to consider are peanut, safflower, sesame, and light refined olive. You can't toss all your stir fry ingredients into the wok at once because some take longer to cook than others and you want to layer the flavors. Start with the most intensely flavored ingredients, usually known as the aromatics, so they'll infuse the oil. When they're lightly browned, push them toward the edge of the wok, and cook your protein of choice in a single layer. Stir fry the protein until it's not quite fully cooked, and then remove it and the aromatics to a bowl. Cook the vegetables next, starting with those that have the longest cooking times first and moving on to soft, leafy veggies that don't need as much time. Garlic, ginger, onions, and chili peppers all make delicious aromatics for a stir fry dish. For protein, you can use chicken, beef, seafood, or tofu, depending on your preferences. When you're adding the vegetables, start with hard, dense options, such as carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli. Add medium weight veggies next, including mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, zucchini, and celery. Finish off with soft vegetables, such as tomatoes, leafy greens, and sprouts. When you're stir frying in a wok, using the right technique is key. To keep the food burning, you need to continue to move the ingredients throughout the process. Use a thin spatula to constantly roll the food over onto itself, placing it between the wok and the food to toss ingredients for even cooking. It's best to use a metal spatula when stir frying because wooden ones are usually too thick to really fit under the food. Once the vegetables are tender, add the protein and aromatics back to the wok. To ensure that you get all of the intense flavors out of the wok, deglaze it with a liquid of your choice. Drizzle the liquid down the sides slowly, and then use the spatula to toss all of the ingredients together so they're all warmed through. For deglazing, broth, stock, wine, soy sauce, or coconut milk all work well.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Prepare the food. Preheat the wok before adding oil. Add food in stages. Move food constantly. Return the aromatics and protein and deglaze.
Article: Unlike most other careers, casting directors need to know your physical size and appearance. At the top of your resume, list your name and contact information. Beneath this, specify your height, weight, hair color, and eye color. An acting resume is similar to any other type of professional resume: it should open with your name, include an acting union affiliation (if applicable), and contact information. Unless you are under 18 years old, do not list your age. This information can be placed in a "Credits" section. If you have acted before and have some theater, TV, or film credentials, be sure to list this information on your resume. Tailor your resume towards the specific role that you're planning to audition for. Highlight acting roles that are similar to this role. That means that, if you are audition for a comedic role and have acted in comedy before, these roles should be at the top of your "Credits" section. Include your acting-related training and education. If you attended a well-known acting school, studied with a famous acting coach (or actor), or majored in acting, theater, or drama, include this information on your resume. If you have been professionally trained as an actor outside of an academic setting, use your resume to highlight the training you received and its duration. You can present this information in a "Work Experience" section. Instead of filling your resume with every role you've ever played, tailor your presentation of work experience. Include professional work you've done (after high school and college) that is relevant to the role you're auditioning for. For example, if you're auditioning for a role in an action movie, use your resume to highlight other action-oriented roles you've played in the past. Just like on any other type of resume, you won't impress anyone by having a resume full of irrelevant details.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Include physical information relevant to acting. Highlight your acting credits. Create an Education section. Focus on your relevant previous experience.
Article: If you have food clogging up your cupboards that you are not going to eat, there is an alternative to just tossing it in the trash. Donating food to local charities, such as food banks and soup kitchens, is a great way to make sure nothing goes to waste. If you decide to do this, the first thing to do is determine what kind of food is suitable for you to donate. Generally non-perishable food, such as tinned vegetables, soups, fish and meat are all appropriate. Low-sugar cereal, tubs of peanut butter, raisins, and juice boxes are also very welcome. Avoid donating food in glass jars or containers. These may not be accepted because of the risk of them breaking. Remember you can also ask friends and family to see if they want anything too. Once you have an idea of what foods you have that may be suitable to donate, you need to look up some local charities. Search for food banks and food drives in your area, and call up to ask how to donate. You can search for your local food banks by using the online search tool of national hunger charities. There are special apps that help businesses to donate unwanted food. As an individual, it is best to work with an established charity, either local or national. Carefully pack up your food and then take your packages to your local food bank to deliver them to the staff and volunteers there. They will be happy to see you and accept your donation providing everything is packed well and you have not added in anything that is not an appropriate donation. While you're at the food drive you could find out a little more about the work they do. Often they will be looking for new volunteers to help organise and distribute the donations. If you have some spare time, why not get involved with the charity and volunteer with them. There are normally a range of volunteering opportunities available. You can also donate excess food to charity if you run a restaurant. Contact a local charity with details about the food you wish to donate, and they will send a truck or van to come and collect from the restaurant. These schemes may also enable you to donate perishable and prepared foods, which will then be frozen or delivered immediately to a local shelter. You can find a list of organisations that perform this service on the US Department of Agriculture's website: http://www.usda.gov/oce/foodwaste/resources/donations.htm You can also donate excess food from a grocery store or food wholesalers. The process is similar to that for restaurants and hotels. You will need to contact a local organisation and give them details on the excess food you would like to donate. The organisation will then arrange to pick up the food directly from you. You could become a corporate partner of a local or national food charity if you are an organisation that frequently has food waste. Being a corporate partner enables you to make a regular arrangement for donations and may offer your business tax benefits.
