Notes
- For the crispiest tofu: Leave it to sear untouched on each side before flipping. For extra crispness, toss it in a little cornstarch first.
- Chop veggies evenly: So they cook evenly. Depending on what veggies you use, add them incrementally (i.e., harder veggies like broccoli and carrot take longer than softer veggies).
- Adjust taste: Tweak the ingredients to make the sauce sweeter, tangier, saltier, spicier, etc.
- Adjust the texture: Cook the veggies for less/more time to your preferred texture (crunchy, tender-crisp, or more tender). For the most tender veg, add a splash of liquid and cook with a lid.
