tips and tricks
● Have all your ingredients prepared and place them in the order you are going to add them to the wok, as this recipe is all about quick cooking.
● Keep ingredients moving when stir frying. Cooking the meat and vegetables separately is best as it allows the meat to brown rather than stew.
● Chinese light soy sauce is most commonly used in Chinese cooking. If a Chinese-style recipe calls for soy sauce without any more detail, assume it means light soy sauce.
