Method
- Set a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat and allow it to get screaming hot. Swirl in 2 Tablespoons of oil (1 Tablespoon if using a non-stick pan).
- Add your meat and cook until browned on each side (and cooked through if using chicken or pork). Remove the browned meat from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Transfer the densest vegetables (i.e., those that take the longest to cook, such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, or bell peppers) into the pan and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in any quick cooking vegetables (snap peas, onions, celery, baby corn, snow peas, mushrooms, zucchini, or bok choy) and cook for another minute.
- Add in any aromatics, if using. Cook for 30 seconds, moving them around the pan constantly to avoid burning.
- Return the meat to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss well to coat all of the meat and vegetables. Let cook for one minute until bubbling.
