Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-fries, as it allows you to toss the ingredients easily and prevents overcrowding.
- Heat Your Wok or Skillet Properly: Make sure your wok or skillet is heated over high heat before adding the oil and ingredients. This will help to create a nice sear and prevent the ingredients from sticking.
- Use a High-Quality Oil: Choose a high-quality oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or canola oil.
- Add Ingredients in Stages: Don't overcrowd your wok or skillet by adding all the ingredients at once. Add them in stages, starting with the vegetables that take the longest to cook.
- Toss and Stir Constantly: Keep your ingredients moving in the wok or skillet to prevent them from burning or sticking. Use a spatula or tongs to toss and stir constantly.
- Season to Taste: Season your stir-fry with salt, pepper, and other spices or sauces to taste. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always add more seasoning later.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fresh. You can serve them over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
