INGREDIENTS
Wash, chop, and
measure ingredients
before you heat
your wok or skillet. Stir-
fries come together
quickly once the pan
(and oil) are piping hot.HEAT IT UP
Heat oil for 30 seconds
on high before adding
anything else to
the pan. High temps
caramelize natural
sugars in vegetables
while maintaining crisp-
tender textures.DON’T CROWD
THE PAN
If your ingredients are
crowded, they’ll run
the risk of steaming
(versus searing). Work in
batches as needed so
pieces have space
for max caramelization. ■RECIPES
