Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables and plump, succulent shrimp.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of food, stir-fry it in batches. This will help prevent the food from overcrowding the pan and becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are crisp-tender, not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a splash of soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in many stir-fries. It adds a salty, savory flavor that helps to balance out the other flavors in the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their most flavorful and delicious.
