  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you're cooking a large amount of food, stir-fry it in batches. This will help to prevent the food from steaming and ensure that it gets evenly cooked.
  • Add the Sauce at the End: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to preserve its flavor and prevent it from burning.
