Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Gather and prepare all ingredients before starting to cook. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Use High-Quality Vegetables: Fresh, crisp vegetables will produce the best results. Choose organic or locally grown vegetables whenever possible.
  • Cut Vegetables Uniformly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A large cooking surface will allow the vegetables to cook quickly and evenly without overcrowding.
  • Heat the Wok or Skillet Over High Heat: This will help create a sear on the vegetables, locking in their flavors and preventing them from becoming mushy.
  • Add the Vegetables in Stages: If using a variety of vegetables with different cooking times, add them to the wok or skillet in stages, starting with the vegetables that take longer to cook.
  • Stir-Fry Constantly: This will help prevent the vegetables from burning or sticking to the wok or skillet. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss the vegetables.
  • Add Sauce or Seasonings Towards the End: This will help prevent the sauce from burning or reducing too much.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fried vegetables are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crisp.
