Tip #1

Prep Ingredients First: Before you start cooking, have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. Stir-frying is a fast process, and having everything at hand will make it smoother and prevent overcooking.

Tip #2

Control the Heat: Keep the heat high when stir-frying the meat and vegetables to achieve a smoky flavour and avoid steaming the ingredients. However, be mindful not to burn the garlic and sauces by reducing the heat slightly when adding them.

Tip #3

Noodle Preparation: Ensure the noodles are just tender before adding them to the stir-fry. Over-soaked noodles can become mushy and break apart during tossing, while under-soaked ones may end up too chewy.

Preparation

Soak rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
