- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Try to use organic, locally-sourced vegetables and meat whenever possible.
- Cut your vegetables and meat into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent your food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
- Heat your wok or skillet over high heat: This will help you get a good sear on your meat and vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd your wok or skillet: If you overcrowd your wok or skillet, your food will steam instead of fry. Cook your food in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry your food in small batches: This will help you prevent your food from becoming soggy.
- Use a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula to stir-fry your food: Metal utensils can damage your wok or skillet.
- Season your stir-fry to taste with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices: You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
- Serve your stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.
