Mincing Burns Fastest — Cold Oil Seems to Tame It
How you cut garlic trades off aroma against burn risk. Mincing should burn fastest, yet Ryuji starts it in cold oil — reading that as burn-proofing is the editors' inference, not his source's.
Spices
Dried chili (peperoncino)
Whole versus sliced changes how the heat comes through. Whether or not you let it scorch is another point where styles diverge.
Japan listing: The description calls it Piccolo; the current Japanese listing is Intero whole red chili peppers, 170g, not a small sachet.
