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 avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the wok. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method. Make sure your wok is nice and hot before adding the ingredients. This will help to sear the ingredients and lock in the flavor.
  • Stir constantly: When stir-frying, it's important to stir the ingredients constantly. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the wok and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
