Top Tips For This Green Bean And Mushroom Stir Fry

  • Cut the green beans into uniform lengths and the mushrooms in a uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Stir-frying is a speedy process; have all your ingredients and liquids prepped and ready to go before you start.
  • Drain the vegetables well and pat dry to ensure they sear nicely and not cook in their steam.
  • Use a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or wok to allow food to cook quickly and evenly.
  • To prevent sticking, preheat the pan before adding the oil and swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Stir-frying is done on high heat; use oils with high smoke points such as peanut or canola oil and make to stir the food constantly to prevent burning.
  • You need to make sure that the wok has no water – not even a drop – as you’ll be adding in cooking oil. Hot wok + water + oil = splatter and burns.
  • Why do we not add in the ginger and garlic in an earlier step with onions? Because they’ll burn. Burnt ginger and garlic is bitter. So we add it AFTER the mushrooms and the onions have cooked.
