It is important to use only ingredients listed in the recipe and prepare them exactly as the recipe says. A good example of this is onions.  Guided cooking recipes using high-temperature cooking, call for onions to be cut into wedges, and there’s a reason for that.  If the onions are chopped too small the smaller pieces and the juice of the onion won’t be lifted by the blades while stirring.  Which can lead to them getting too dark and sticking.
