Directions

1. Mise en Place

Measure and prep all ingredients. (Stir fry is one of the fastest ways to cook, so it’s important to have everything ready to begin.)
Slice well-chilled protein into uniform pieces; coat with water and cornstarch.
Blanch veggies.

2. Cook

Drizzle oil around sides of stir-fry pan; tilt pan to coat evenly. Heat on HIGH until oil faintly smokes; add protein in small batches. (Don’t overcrowd pan or food will steam, not brown.)
Sear items until browned; remove from pan.

3. Finish

Add veggies to stir-fry pan; stir briefly to heat through (usually no more than 30 sec). Stir in protein and sauce. Toss to coat.
