No More Soggy Stir-Fries!



Smoked Tofu with Garlic Chives & Chinese Sausage



 

 


Tips for Avoiding Soggy Stir-Fries:


1)      Have everything ready before cooking—sliced vegetables, mixed sauce, minced 3 G’s (garlic, green onion, ginger). Stir-fry time should be only 1-2 minutes, no more. Color, aroma and taste come together!


2) Wait until oil and skillet is hot over medium/high heat.


3) Cook your meat first (set aside), separate from the veggies. If using bean sprouts, throw in at the very end. They wilt almost instantly. Don’t leave your stir-fry in hot pan/wok on stove, it will keep cooking!


4) Mix a little (1/2 t) cornstarch to your stir-fry sauce before cooking. Salt releases the water in your veggies.
