How do I prevent my stir fry from becoming soggy?
Here are few tips to achieve a crisp and flavorful stir fry without becoming soggy:
- Cook in high heat - Begin with a preheated wok! Stir frying demands high heat to swiftly cook ingredients without steaming.
- Cook in batches - To prevent overcrowding, cook chicken, veggies, or shrimp in smaller batches. This allows them ample space to sear and develop a delicious caramelized exterior. Vegetables should be vibrant, crisp yet tender.
- Cut all ingredients evenly - Cut vegetables and meat into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. This preserves texture and prevents any pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Finish with Sauce - Add stir fry sauces near the end of cooking to blend flavors without saturating the ingredients prematurely.
- Serve immediately - Stir fry dishes are most flavorful when served immediately after cooking to maintain their texture.
