Hot Thai Kitchen tips (https://youtu.be/bxwclRtP60E)

1. Cutting limes (not through the middle to avoid the pith, wide
   wedges rather than narrow for easier handling).

2. Make sauces in bulk. Like the universal stir fry sauce.

3. Squeeze bottles for oyster sauce and oils (except it's plastic).

4. Oil measuring spoons before measuring oyster sauce and sesame
   paste.

5. Devein shrimp by sticking a toothpick under the vein in the last
   joint, pulling up, and then pulling out the vein.

6. Reduce heat of chilies by chopping them up and putting them in a
   bowl of water. In time, the seeds sink and the water will soak out
   much of the heat. Use a skimmer to remove the flesh.

7. Use the sun to remove turmeric stains.
