Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry.
Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
Marinate your chicken or tofu. This will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
Use a large skillet or wok. This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry your ingredients.
Heat your skillet or wok over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on your ingredients.
Stir-fry your ingredients in batches. This will prevent them from overcrowding the skillet and steaming instead of frying.
Add your sauce last. This will help to prevent it from burning.
Serve your stir-fry immediately. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

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