Here are a few tips and tricks you should know that will take your Thai Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry dish to the next level:
1. When preparing your vegetables for cooking, it's important to cut them into bite-sized pieces. This not only makes them easier to eat, but also ensures they cook evenly. To achieve this, try to cut them into uniform sizes so they cook at the same rate of tenderness. This will prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are undercooked, resulting in a perfectly cooked and delicious dish.
2. Avoid adding all vegetables to the pan at once. Start with longer cooking vegetables like broccoli and carrots, followed by mushrooms and softer veggies, to ensure even cooking.
3. To ensure your vegetables stay fresh and retain their natural flavors, avoid over-stirring them while cooking. Simply drop them into your pan, give them a quick stir 1-2 times, then cover the pan with a lid and let them steam for about 2 minutes. This will cook the vegetables to your desired level of crunchiness, and help them retain their color and nutrients.
4. While adding sugar is optional when cooking vegetables, it can help balance out the saltiness from soy sauce and oyster sauce, creating a delicious flavor. However, some vegetables may naturally become sweeter as they cook, so it's up to your personal preference whether to add sugar or not.
5. Don't be afraid to get creative with your vegetable stir fry and customize it to your liking! You can use any kind of vegetables you prefer and even add some protein like shrimp, chicken, or pork. Simply stir fry the meat first and then add in the vegetables.
