Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly and quickly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help to prevent your food from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan until it coats the entire surface. Then, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool completely.
  • Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat, so make sure your burner is turned up to high before you start cooking. This will help to sear the food and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring constantly will help to ensure that your food is cooked evenly and prevent it from burning. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir your food so that you don't damage your wok or skillet.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, your food will not cook evenly and it will be more likely to stick. Cook your food in batches if necessary.
  • Add your sauce at the end: Adding your sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning. Stir the sauce into the food until it is evenly coated.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get a delicious meal on the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a stir-fry that is packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give stir-fry a try!
