Notes

  • High heat + don’t crowd pan = restaurant wok hei.
  • 85/15 beef = crispy bits + flavor. Drain excess if needed.
  • Thai chilies = authentic heat. Sriracha paste works too.
  • Steamy rice essential – jasmine > basmati for stickiness.
  • Fried garlic: slice thin, fry 325°F until golden. Store jar.
  • Make ahead: cook beef/veggies, store sauce separate.
  • Reheat + sauce = fresh taste. Microwave rice steaming hot.
  • Leftovers perfect lunch bowls. Sauce intensifies.
  • Swap veggies: broccoli, carrots, zucchini all perfect.
  • Meal prep superstar. 30 mins start to finish.
