Method

Stir-fries cook quickly so act like a scout and be prepared.

If using dry noodles or rice then get that going.

Cut all vegetables small enough that they'll cook fast, and line up all ingredients next to the stove in the order they'll go into the pan.

Cook the protein first, add some soy diluted with water after the protein has caramelized. Remove the protein to a plate, wipe out the pan, and reheat it.

While this is cooking mix the soy sauce, water, acid, sweetener and hot sauce to form the sauce

Sear the vegetables until tender. Be sure to add the vegetables that take the longest to cook to the pan first. Carrots first, ginger and garlic last.

Combine everything in the pan and toss just till it's warmed through, adding the sauce and any extras as appropriate.
