My 10 Best Tips for a Perfect Stir Fry
- 1) Cooking order matters. Uncooked meat should be cooked first. I typically cook it to almost done, then remove it to a plate while I cook the vegetables. I then add the meat back in after the vegetables are cooked. Different vegetables cook for different lengths of time. Carrots are the ones that are the most typical stir fry addition that need extra cooking time. Add them first, followed by softer vegetables (peppers, onion etc)., followed by aromatics (ginger, garlic etc) and finally greens (that just need wilting)
- 2) Don't overcrowd your wok or vegetables will sweat/steam instead of fry. If you have a lot to cook, cook in batches and remove to a plate, then bring it all together at the end.
- 3) Watch the sodium - both broth and soy sauce can be loaded with it, so consider using low-sodium version of one or both, then adding salt at the end and only if necessary.
- 4) Don't forget the little things - garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, green onions, nuts (peanuts/cashews) are all great additions to your stir fry for flavouring or garnish.
- 5) Don't forget the noodles (or rice) - stir fries don't have to be meat and veg. There are so many varieties of noodles and rice these days. Experiment and find some great combinations. Grains are another great option.
- 6) Don't forget the citrus - a squeeze of lemon or orange juice to a sauce will really brighten the flavours!
- 7) Keep it hot! In most cases, your wok should be heated over no less than medium-high heat, so things cook quickly. Keep your food moving by stirring, to prevent scorching.
- 8) Cut your vegetables with the length of cooking time in mind. For example, to cook carrots more quickly, cut them as small as possible (matchstick shape works great). Broccoli is another vegetable that takes longer to cook in a stir fry. Either cut in to smaller pieces or blanch/microwave a bit first before adding to the stir fry.Things that cook quickly can be kept larger.
- 9) Be sure to use a cooking oil with a high smoke point. A lot of people are experimenting with coconut oil, but it has a fairly low smoke point. A good quality extra virgin olive oil is a better choice. Or look for avocado oil, which is a healthier oil with the highest smoke point of them all!
- 10) Use your sauce as a marinade! In many cases, you can marinade your meat in your sauce first. Be sure to cover and refrigerate. Drain and reserve the marinade from meat before cooking meat, then add the reserved marinade to your hot skillet and cook the sauce thoroughly.
Stocking a Stir-Fry Ready Pantry
Here are my recommended pantry items, to always be stir fry ready!
Fresh garlic
Fresh ginger (you can keep it in the freezer and easily grate it as needed!)
Asian Chilli Garlic Sauce
Sambal Oelek
Soy Sauce (a variety is nice - light, dark, low-sodium and regular. Tamari is a great gluten free alternative for soy sauce)
Sesame Oil (you can also add toasted sesame oil if you want to expand your pantry)
Hoisin Sauce
Oyster Sauce
Fish Sauce (vegetarian and vegan ones are even available now!)
White Vinegar
Coconut Milk
Cornstarch (or Arrowroot Powder, for a gluten free option), for thickening sauces
Chicken stock (I always have some on hand. I love the Better than Bouillon™ stock concentrate, so I can mix up as needed in small quantities)
Velveting your meat
Ever wonder how Asian restaurants achieve such tender meat? They use a process called Velveting to prepare their meat. It's an extra step, but definitely produces wonderful results.
The process of Velveting involves marinating your meat pieces for 30 minutes in a basic velveting marinade of:
Basic Velveting Marinade (double, as necessary):
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Chinese rice wine, dry sherry or white vinegar
2 tsp. cold water
2 tsp. cornstarch
Combine all these ingredients well with your meat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, cook the meat for 1 minute in boiling water or oil. (*I prefer the water method). Remove to a plate and set aside to add to your stir fry or do ahead and refrigerate. Be sure to add the velveted and pre-cooked meat near the end of your stir fry, just long enough to warm it, so it doesn't over-cook.

Patrick says
As someone who has been stir-frying since watching Joyce Chen on PBS when I was a kid (I’m 63 now), I really appreciate your efforts. This will help be put a little variety in my stir-fries Thanks so much. I’m sure my wife thanks you, too!
Jennifer says
So glad to hear, Patrick :) Thanks and enjoy!
Misty Nesloney says
I have been looking for a post like this for a while and I cannot believe I found it. What is the best oil to use for a stir fry? I was thinking about using peanut oil, but have never actually used it before, and am unsure about how the end result would taste... And how long do you stir fry the sauces for? Do you add them at near completion?... Very new at this, but just wanted to tell you that I learned a lot from this post, and I appreciate your efforts and hard work putting it together. Can't wait to try some of these out, think I'm going to right now.. (I seem to do my best cooking after midnight, lol.) Thanks for the recipes and tips, I'll be referring to this often. 🙂👍💞
Jennifer says
Hi Misty, I generally use vegetable oil. It has a high smoke point and is flavourless. Peanut oil is fine, too, though it's more expensive and doesn't really offer a lot of benefits, imo. You generally add the sauce once all the vegetables are cooked/tender. The vegetables should go into the pan with the ones needing the longest to cook first, then adding the quicker cooking ones in. Keep it hot. Keep it moving. Once all the vegetables (and noodles, if using) are done, add the sauce and let it cook with the vegetables a minute or two until it thickens. Serve and enjoy :)
Alan Morris says
Great stuff Jennifer!!
A go to source for sir fry sauce!!!!
Really appreciate the effort you have put in - and I want you to know that I have used several sauces already - no issues whatsoever.
Thanks again!
Jennifer says
So glad to hear, Alan :) Thanks so much!
Larry says
Jennifer - YOU da GAL!!! Retired guy here, and the cook (to ensure that we don't eat out of cans & boxes!). Lots of planning ahead. Asian (Korean, Chinese, Thai . . . ) is a favorite of mine, so I whip up different sauces, sans recipes, for what suits whatever I'm cooking (wok stir fry, noodle bowls, etc.). Do I use Shaoxing wine or not? Bit of mirin? Chili oil? Your post is a GOLDMINE! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I shall probably refer to it often.
Jennifer says
So glad to hear, Larry :) Thanks and happy cooking!
Babs says
Looking forward to trying some of theses sauces. I have never cooked Asian Style before and I was wondering if you slice your meat before velveting it? I am guessing so but didn’t see that step!
Jennifer says
Hi Babs and yes, you'll want to cut them into pieces before velveting. Enjoy!
Gabriel says
Always looking for some quick and simple recipes to make and I always struggle making a stir fry tasty so really pleased I came across these. Thank you for sharing, think I’m going to try the Spicy Orange Stir-Fry Sauce this weekend.
Jennifer says
Thanks Gabriel! Enjoy :)
SeaAngel2 says
I just tried the Thai1 with peanut butter and it is amazing!! I can't wait to try some of the others:-) I quite often do a stir fry because it is healthy and uses up the veggies and/or left over meat. Thank you for these great sauces!!
Jennifer says
So glad to hear! Thanks so much :)
Vanessa Styles says
Seems like a silly question but with velveting your meat, how do you boil it afterwards?
Jennifer says
Hi Vanessa, you would just pop into boiling water then drain, just like you would cook pasta.
Sara says
So informative! Thank you for posting
Jennifer says
Thanks Sara :)
marc lyn felstead says
Hi when you say "cup" what size measurement !
Jennifer says
Hi Marc, I'm referring to the Imperial measure cup, so 8 fluid oz. or about 230ml. Hope that helps :)
Iva says
For us who just discovered wok (just bought it and making first ones in my life) this is a treasury!! Here I found SO MANY answers... Plus, I always ask myself (in Chinese restaurants) how they get that thick sauce.. So, is it of that corn starch? I have a question: can I put beef gelatin or psyllium (as healthier) instead? Have you ever tried? Thank you a lot, cheers from Croatia! :-)
Jennifer says
Thanks Iva, as for the corn starch, while it is not healthy, it is not un-healthy either. Sort of just a nothing and you use so little of it (a couple of teaspoons) in relation to all the goodness in the wok, that I think corn starch is really the best option. Arrowroot powder is a good option for gluten/corn avoiders.
Tony Child says
Being a single person & not wanting to waste anything, can the sauces be frozen to be used at a later time
Jennifer says
Hi Tony and yes, they can absolutely be frozen :)
Kiley says
Hi Jennifer, thank you for this!!! Question please:
I want to try velveting the meat, as you recommend, but does that mean we use our chosen sauce to marinate instead of the basic velveting marinate?
Jennifer says
Hi Kiley, no, you would use the velveting marinade and then use that chicken with the sauce of your choice. Hope that helps :)
Chris Y. says
Thank you for sharing all of this wonderful information. Velveting some beef as I type this. Perhaps I missed it, but how much meat is assumed when making the marinade for velveteen meat? Tonight I assumed the directions were for 1 pound, so I tripled it.
Thanks again,
Chris
Jennifer says
Hi Chris, It should be enough liquid to moisten all the meat, so you would increase as needed.
Katarina says
This is awesome! Thank you very much for every single information in this article. I've already tried two sauces and both are super delicious. Now, I think that I am stir fry sauce master (at least in our kitchen :D). Thank you so so much!
Jennifer says
Thanks Katarina and so glad you are finding this helpful :)
Kathy McCurry says
Jennifer, Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a great compendium of sauces and I'm looking forward to trying them all. And, I can't believe you gave away the "Ancient Chinese Secret" of velveting the meat! That alone (okay, and their hot and sour soup) is a key criteria for how I determine if a Chinese restaurant is worth returning to. But, how they achieve that tenderness has always been a mystery. Lastly, thank you for putting the recipes in a PDF downloadable.
And, you live in such a beautiful area (although I suspect the winters are brutal). My dad's wife and her whole family have a wonderful place on Lake Muskoka where and have gathered there for summers for more than 30 years. It's such a treat to visit.
Jennifer says
Thanks Kathy! And you know, the winters here are definitely "winter", but once you get used to them, there's something cozy and peaceful about Muskoka in the winter :) It's equally as beautiful, I think, at least from the inside looking out!
Tricia @ Saving room for dessert says
Oh my gosh - this is absolutely perfect! What a wonderful post Jennifer. I have a stir fry on my upcoming list of posts - so now I need to rethink the sauce! Love all your beautiful ideas. Yum!
Jennifer says
Thanks so much, Tricia :) I love all the different ways to make a stir fry!
Irene (former Ontarian, now PEI) says
Fantastic info - and all in one place!
Had some leftover beef that was made into a stir fry. No udon noodles in the pantry so used rice noodles. Used your sauce from 15-Minute Spicy and Vegetable Stir Fry.
Now have more options!
Jennifer says
Thanks Irene and I bet beef was nice with that sauce!
sue | theviewfromgreatisland says
Bravo! This is a tour de force and sooo useful. I've always found authentic stir fry to be daunting. I am especially interested in the 'velveted' meat, I can't wait to try!
Jennifer says
Thanks Sue :) I love the velveting and try to do it as often as I can when I have a bit of extra time. It's really worth it!
Cheryl says
This is an amazing list! Thank you!!
Jennifer says
Thanks Cheryl! Enjoy :)
Carolyn says
Jennifer,
I can't wait to try some of these. I was wondering if rice vinegar and rice wine vinegar are the same? I notice you have both listed. Thank you--this is just the thing I was looking for.
Jennifer says
Hi Carolyn and thanks! And yes, rice vinegar and rice wine vinegar are just different ways to say the same thing. The only difference is how they've chosen to label it.
Catherine says
Thank you for this! You are so generous and a blessing. Now I can "whip-up" even better!
Jennifer says
Thanks Catherine :) I find this list super handy for my dinners on the fly!
