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 comes together quickly and easily.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is the best choice for stir-frying because it allows you to easily toss and stir the ingredients.
- Get Your Wok or Skillet Really Hot: The key to a great stir-fry is to get your wok or skillet really hot before adding the ingredients. This will help to sear the meat and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
- Use a High-Quality Oil: Use a high-quality oil that can withstand high temperatures, such as grapeseed oil, peanut oil, or canola oil.
- Don't Overcrowd the Wok or Skillet: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet with ingredients. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Stir-Fry in Batches: If you're making a large batch of stir-fry, cook the ingredients in batches. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh, high-quality vegetables, meat, and seafood.
- Season to Taste: Season the stir-fry to taste with salt, pepper, and other seasonings.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately. It can be served over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
