Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use high heat—it’s the essence of stir-frying.
- Keep stirring—this isn’t a simmer, it’s a workout!
- Prep all ingredients in advance to keep things moving smoothly.
DON’T:
- Overcrowd the pan—work in batches if needed for perfect browning.
- Use soggy veggies. Fresh, firm veggies are key to a good stir-fry.
- Skip the garlic and ginger unless you’re out of options.
Optional Add-Ins and Variations:
- Crunch Factor: Toss in cashews or peanuts for texture.
- Egg-cellent: Scramble in an egg for a fried rice-style twist.
- Herbal Boost: Add fresh cilantro or basil for extra flavor.
Stir-Fry is the ultimate weeknight savior: fast, flexible, and fabulously flavorful. Whether you’re tossing in leftovers or experimenting with new combos, this dish is always a winner. 🥢🍚🥦
