Tips:

- To ensure the vegetables retain their vibrant color and crisp texture, stir-fry them over high heat quickly. - Use a wok or a large skillet to allow for even heat distribution and easy tossing of the vegetables. - Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly. - Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will result in steamed vegetables rather than stir-fried. - If using frozen vegetables, thaw them completely before stir-frying to prevent excess water from diluting the sauce. - To add a more savory flavor, consider using chicken broth or vegetable stock instead of water for the sauce. - For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha sauce. - Serve immediately over rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
