This is a fun meal that’s cooked at the table. Use an electric frying pan or wok at the table. You can also cook the entire meal in the kitchen and bring it to the table.
Helpful Hints:
- To keep from looking back at a recipe as you stir-fry the ingredients, line them up on a cutting board or plate in order of use. You will know which ingredient comes next.
