Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables in advance: Cut and wash your vegetables before you start cooking so that they're ready to go when you need them.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to mix and match different vegetables to create a stir-fry that's full of flavor and color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking too many vegetables at once will make them steam instead of stir-fry.
  • Stir-fry in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of vegetables to cook, stir-fry them in batches so that they don't get overcrowded.
  • Use a high-heat cooking method: A hot wok or skillet will help to quickly cook the vegetables and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh. Enjoy!
