Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and chop your vegetables, and measure out your ingredients. This will make the cooking process go much smoother.
- Use high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat, so make sure your wok or large skillet is nice and hot before you add your ingredients.
- Stir constantly: This will help to prevent your ingredients from sticking to the pan and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many ingredients to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook your ingredients in batches if necessary.
- Use a little oil: A little bit of oil will help to prevent your ingredients from sticking to the pan, but don't use too much, or your stir-fry will be greasy.
- Add your sauce last: Add your sauce to the pan just before you are finished cooking. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
