Tips:
- Use a hot pan and high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the vegetables and meat, and will also help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
- Add the sauce last. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be crisp-tender, not mushy.
- Serve immediately. Stir-fries are best when served hot and fresh.
