How can I make a simple vegetable stir-fry?
How do you make stir-fry step by step?
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.

Add the garlic, if using. Cook and stir for 15 seconds.
Add the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof silicone spatula ($12, OXO), for 2 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan.
If needed, add more oil to the pan.dd the meat. Cook and stir until the meat is cooked through. (If necessary, cook the meat in batches to prevent overcrowding. If the pan is too full, the meat will water out and steam instead of fry.) 
Push the cooked meat from the center up the sides of the wok or skillet. Add the sauce to the center of the skillet. Cook and stir the sauce until bubbly.
Return all vegetables to the skillet.
