Speed is a great ally, but only if you keep the core of your dish intact. Don’t cut corners on the seasoning or the cooking time just because you’re racing the clock. The trick is to streamline the prep—prep everything in advance, keep your mise en place flawless, and let the heat do the work. If you can’t master that, you’ll end up with a dish that’s rushed and flat. Stay focused, stay precise, and the pressure will simply become another flavor.
