restaurantInstructions
1
Cut everything first
Stir-fry is fast. Cut vegetables into similar bite-size pieces. Mix soy, vinegar, and sugar in a cup. Mix cornstarch slurry if you want a glossier sauce.
2
Hot pan
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers. Add onion and harder vegetables (carrot, broccoli) first. Stir 2–3 minutes.
3
Softer vegetables
Add peppers, cabbage, or leftover cooked veg. Stir 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger 30 seconds.
4
Sauce
Pour in the soy mixture. Toss 1 minute. If using slurry, add it and toss until the sauce clings, 20–30 seconds. Do not drown the pan — you want coated vegetables, not soup.
5
Serve
Taste for salt (soy). Serve over leftover rice. Add leftover chicken or tofu if it is in the fridge; the base recipe stays vegetarian.
