Everyone asks, how can I make my stir fry better.

I always tell people that stir frying is really easy.
However, people seem to overthink it which is what can get them into trouble.

When it comes to stir frying, keep these tips in mind.

• Before starting up the stir fryer or stove, have all of your ingredients ready to go. This is because stir frying is fast and you do not want to have to take a moment away to get something or chop something.
• If you are adding meat (the real kind of meat) you should cook the meat first, remove it from the wok or skillet to cook the other ingredients, and then add the cooked meat towards the end.
• Think of stir frying as being hot and fast rather than slow and low. Do not allow this to intimidate you though.
