Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to use organic vegetables whenever possible.
  • Cut Vegetables Evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a mandoline, use it to slice your vegetables thinly and evenly.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying because it allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly.
  • Use High Heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your wok or skillet is hot before you add the food.
  • Stir Constantly: This will help prevent the food from sticking to the wok or skillet and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add Sauce Gradually: Start by adding a small amount of sauce and then adjust the amount to taste. You can always add more sauce, but it's difficult to remove it.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and the flavors are at their peak.
