Notes
Tips for Perfection
Use a high heat for stir frying. This will help the vegetables to cook quickly and evenly, and also gives them a delicious crispy texture.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of stir fry and you'll end up with a soggy dish.
Stir fry the vegetables in small batches if necessary.
Use a variety of colorful vegetables for a visually appealing dish.
Variations
Add some protein to make this a complete meal. Tofu, tempeh, or seitan all work great in stir fry dishes.
Experiment with different sauces. Try a sweet and spicy sauce made with hoisin, chili paste, and rice vinegar, or a tangy sauce made with rice vinegar, tamari, and ginger.
Mix in some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, for an extra burst of flavor
