Notes

How to stir-fry veg: Add vegetables to the wok in an order that suits their cooking times. Hard veg (such as carrots and broccoli) should be added 1 minute before medium-hard veg (such as peppers and green beans). Add soft or leafy veg (think spinach and tomatoes) at the end. Be sure your wok is hot! A high heat will cook veg quickly, which intensifies its flavour and softens it slightly, but still retains some bite. A salad spinner is a quick way to remove excess moisture from veg. If you don’t have one, pat dry with kitchen paper before stir-frying.
