Method

Prep Ingredients

Wash and chop all vegetables. Slice any meat against the grain into thin strips. Measure out sauces and have everything ready by the stove — stir-frying moves fast once the pan is hot.

Heat the Pan

Place a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat. The oil should shimmer but not smoke. A properly heated pan is the secret to good stir-fry.

Cook the Protein

Add your main protein to the hot pan in a single layer. Do not overcrowd — cook in batches if needed. Let it sear undisturbed for 45 seconds, then stir-fry until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

Add a splash more oil if needed. Add aromatics (garlic, ginger) first and stir for 15 seconds. Then add vegetables in order of hardness — carrots first, leafy greens last. Stir-fry until crisp-tender.

Combine and Serve

Return the protein to the pan. Pour your sauce mixture around the edges of the pan so it sizzles. Toss everything together for 30-60 seconds until well coated. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
