Notes
- Prep and cut your veggies and get everything prepared and within your reach before you start cooking. Stir-frying is a very quick process so we want all the ingredients ready before heating up the pan.
- Make sure that your veggies and tofu are drained and dried thoroughly. Otherwise, they will create steam and will turn out soggy and unappetizing.
- Do not cover-crowd your pan too! The veggies and tofu needs to be exposed to the pan’s hot surface to get that perfect sear. Also, adding too much on you pan will affect the temperature, which is detrimental to stir-fry recipes like this.
