You got some great advice about the stir fry. I have the same problem so I’ll have to follow the advice you got.

Church cookbooks are the absolute best, because they are tried and true family recipes!

For stir-fry, use high heat. Using the steam from the cover works great (as Anele suggested), then give the veggies a quick stir and remove. Remember the veggies will continue to cook a little after you’ve removed it from the wok.

[...] Karen shared a recipe for wontons. She isn’t looking for any particular recipe right now but would love to learn how to cook stir fry. [...]

I’ve never soaked them in water but sometimes I’ll stick a stockpot lid over the top to give it a bit of a steam from the water already in the veggies. Put the more dense veggies in a minute before the others like carrots, asparagus, anything a little thicker. Then stuff like broccoli, sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, etc cook quicker.

Thanks for the tip. Do you soak them in water first? I had heard to try that.

When I do my stir fry veggies (fresh), I do them in 2 tbsp HOT canola or olive oil and 3-4 minutes usually does it to have them cooked but still crunchy. Wok’s do work best for this. Good luck!
