Cooking Tips and Tricks
Always prep your ingredients before you start cooking. Stir frying is fast, so you won’t have time later. Use high heat and cook food quickly to keep it fresh and crisp. Add sauce only at the end to avoid soggy veggies. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water. If it is too thin, cook a bit longer. Use a wok if you have one for better heat spread. Try fresh vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots for the best results. Taste as you cook, and adjust seasoning for balance.
