The Thai sweet chili sauce gives this dish a sweet and spicy flavor that my kids love. You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less of the sauce or adding additional red pepper flakes, if you like it really hot.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure the stir-fry comes together quickly.
  • Use a Wok: If you have one, use a wok for stir-frying. Its wide, shallow shape allows for quick and even cooking.
  • Control the Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat, but it's important to control it carefully. Too much heat can burn the ingredients, so adjust the heat as needed.
  • Don't Crowd the Wok: Don't overcrowd the wok with ingredients. Cook them in batches if necessary to prevent steaming and ensure even cooking.
  • Sauce It Up: The sauce is key in a stir-fry. Make sure to use a flavorful and well-balanced sauce that complements the other ingredients.
  • Stir Constantly: Stir the ingredients constantly to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after cooking. The vegetables should still have a slight crunch and the sauce should be glossy and flavorful.
