Note

For added flavor, consider tossing the vegetables with a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil at the end of cooking.

To keep the vegetables crisp-tender, do not overcook; the high heat and short cooking time are essential for texture.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles to make a complete meal.

Ensure all vegetables are cut uniformly for even cooking.
