Helpful Tips for the Best Stir Fry

Use a fairly high heat so vegetables have a chance to brown. This is also best for stir fry to help it cook quickly. Only toss vegetables occasionally when stir frying so they have a chance to get some color. Cut vegetables fairly even in size for uniformity. Be careful not to over-cook the vegetables. They should just be tender crisp when done. The residual heat will continue to soften them a little further even off heat.

How to Store and Reheat

Store any leftover in the fridge in an airtight container, keep it separate from rice or it will make rice soggy. Reheat in a skillet over stovetop over medium heat stirring frequently. Or reheat in microwave (in a microwave safe dish) tossing occasionally.
