As with any Stir Fry, there are 2 distinct phases of making this meal: the preparation phase and the cooking phase. In order to ensure the that the various ingredients are not overcooked, all of the ingredients should be prepared and measured during the preparation phase, before you begin cooking. Stir Fry is supposed to be a high heat process; ensure that the wok is well heated so that the oil begins to smoke before you begin cooking. Otherwise, the food will stick to the wok.
