NOTES : " Stir-fried vegetables dishes should not contain more than four or five

types of vegetable and they should be varied - some crisp, like green beans,

others leafy, such as spinach. The art of stir-frying vegetables is knowing when

to add them to the wok. If you throw them in all at once they become soggy,

regardless of their water content. Put the tougher, more textured ones in the

wok first to give them a head start.. " Ken Hom
