Notes
- Stir-Fry Quickly: Stir-frying is a fast cooking method. Ensure your wok or pan is hot before adding ingredients. Keep them moving to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
- Sauce Balance: When adding sauces like tamari, coconut sugar, or other seasonings, start with what the recipe suggests. You can always adjust later to match your taste preferences.
- Noodle Texture: Cook the noodles until they are just al dente. They will continue to cook a bit when stir-frying. Overcooked noodles can become sticky and less enjoyable.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: If you're making a larger batch, it's better to cook in batches than to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and soggy ingredients.
