Give the simmer its place
Keep the simmering stage in the sequence when planning the meal. Follow the heat and texture checks in that step rather than rushing straight to the finish.
Fold in at the stated step
Have the ingredient for folding in ready before you need it. Follow that mixing step as written, rather than putting every ingredient into the bowl at the start.
