Tips + Note

• Prepare all the ingredients before heating the wok.  When making a stir-fry, things move quickly. Have everything cut and measured before you start,
• Set the heat high. Heat your pan or wok before adding the oil.  This step will help prevent sticking to the pan.
• Once the oil is added, spread it around the pan to coat it well. Choose an oil with a high smoke point. Like Vegetable or Peanut.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce: Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in with  1 tablespoon of cold water and stir until smooth paste forms.  Stir into the simmering sauce bring to a boil and simmer just until any starchy taste has been cooked away.
