Note
Do not skimp on oil; using enough oil ensures the vegetables cook evenly and do not burn or dry out.
This dish can be prepared in advance and served cold, or reheated briefly before serving.
If you do not have a wok, a large skillet or frying pan works well. Ensure the pan is very hot before adding the oil.
