Notes
Recipe Notes
- Use fresh asparagus for the best result. Asparagus should be firm and wilted. The color should also be bright green.
- For any stir-fry dishes, use high heat. High heat will help to cook your ingredients faster while retaining their crispness and color. Make sure your pan is hot before adding ingredients, and keep the heat high throughout the cooking process.
- Cook your meat first until it's almost done before adding vegetables. This ensures that the meat gets a nice sear and doesn't overcook while the vegetables are cooking.
