METHOD
Why It Works
High heat keeps vegetables crisp and flavorful.
Quick Fixes
Vegetables steaming instead of stir-frying: Get the pan ripping hot before adding anything. Add vegetables in stages — hardest first.
Sauce too watery: Make sure cornstarch is dissolved in cold liquid before adding to the pan and stir constantly until glossy.
