Tips for Best Results

• Always cut ingredients the same size for even cooking.

• Cook in batches if pan is crowded to retain high heat and avoid steaming. 

• Use cold concerns—like cornstarch slurry—to create glossy, silky sauce.

• Avoid overcooking pork: remove early and re-add later with sauce.

• For extra crispness, stir-fry broccoli quickly or blanch first then shock in ice water.
