Iii. Key Techniques for Stir-frying

Common mistakes in steps and techniques

Soaking rice noodles in warm water makes them soft yet slightly chewy. They tend to break easily when soaked in hot water and won't penetrate thoroughly when soaked in cold water

Control the heat throughout the process over medium-high heat, stir-fry quickly over low heat until the water releases and the rice noodles become mushy

Add water to the TSY Food sauce in several portions to keep it moist. If too much water is added at one time, the rice noodles will become soft and mushy

Add the vegetables last to keep them crisp. If added too early, they will lose their texture

The tools used are chopsticks and a spatula. Using only a spatula can easily break the flour
