A quick tip for a tastier stir-fry: roughly chop up all the ingredients into similar bite sized pieces before cooking.
With smaller pieces, there’s more surface area for the seasoning and sauces to infuse the meat and veggies. And it assures that each bite offers you a little of everything with all the delicious contrasting flavors and textures.
Thai cooking is a great example of this with dishes like Thai basil chicken and Thai minced meat salad. You can experience the sweet, spicy, sour, umami elements in every spoonful.
