A few quick notes
1. Stop mixing at the stated point
Keep an eye on the mixing instruction as you work. Once the mixture reaches the point described in the recipe, move on to the next step instead of giving it extra mixing out of habit.
2. Set up the coating steps in order
Read the coating sequence and set its ingredients out in that order. Keep the preparation and cooking steps separate so you can finish each piece the same way.
3. Match the preparation in the method
Take a look at the chopping, slicing or shaving step before bringing the parts together. Use the preparation described there so the food goes into the next stage in the form the recipe expects.
