Stir-frying is a popular cooking method that allows for quick and customizable meals. Chef Alex Guarnaschelli suggests cooking proteins, like beef, separately from veggies to avoid toughness. By stir-frying vegetables first and incorporating the meat at the end, cooks can ensure that the protein remains tender. Overcrowding the wok can lead to steaming rather than searing, which negatively affects the texture of the meat. Guarnaschelli's technique promotes cooking in stages, returning all ingredients together at the end for a perfect sauce integration.
In a TikTok video, Guarnaschelli advises to cook protein separately at high heat before adding it to the stir-fry, to avoid overcooking.
Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of searing meat, so it's crucial to cook ingredients in stages for optimal texture.
