Stir Fry Notes

  • The key to making stir frying quick, is being organized.ย  Or at least trying to be organized..ha!
  • Get all of your stuff on the counter in front of you so you can see what’s what.ย  It really does save time when you do it this way.
  • I like to get everything going at the same time so that it cuts down on the actual cooking time.ย  This is super quick once you get it on the stove so make sure everything is prepped, chopped and ready to go.
  • I used vermicelli rice noodles which are super thin and cook in about three minutes.ย  Don’t over cook them for they will end up being a clumpy mess.ย  Again, I speak from experience.ย 
  • I cooked the noodles when the vegetables were cooking in the wok.ย  Then I just drained them and set them aside.
