# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sauce comes together in seconds but tastes like it simmered for hours
  • Even vegetable skeptics find themselves going back for seconds
  • Everything cooks in one pan, meaning less cleanup and more eating
02 -
  • Prep all ingredients before turning on the stove, stir-frying happens fast
  • Crowding the pan will steam vegetables instead of stir-frying them
  • Let the pan get properly hot between additions for that restaurant-quality sear
03 -
  • Grate your ginger against the grain to avoid tough fibrous strands in your final dish
  • Keep a small bowl of water nearby to deglaze the pan if things start sticking
