Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-fries because it allows you to cook the ingredients quickly and evenly. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a regular frying pan, but you may need to cook the ingredients in batches.
- High Heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat, so make sure your wok or skillet is hot before you add the ingredients. This will help to sear the ingredients and prevent them from sticking.
- Stir Constantly: Stirring the ingredients constantly will help to prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Add Sauce Gradually: Add the sauce to the stir-fry gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling or becoming too thick.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the flavors are at their peak.
