Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest ingredients possible. This will give your stir-fry the best flavor.
  • Choose the Right Wok: Use a wok that is large enough to accommodate all of your ingredients. A 12-inch wok is a good size for most stir-fries.
  • Heat the Wok Properly: Make sure the wok is very hot before adding the oil. This will help prevent the ingredients from sticking.
  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you are cooking a large amount of food, stir-fry in batches. This will help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the wok and becoming soggy.
  • Use a Sauce: A sauce will help to add flavor and moisture to your stir-fry. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the鮮味 (umami) flavor.
