Recipe Notes

After adding the garlic and stir-frying with the vegetables. You may need to add a splash of chicken stock to deglaze the wok or frying pan, this will ensure and prevent burning the garlic. Keep in mind that the vegetables will continue cooking with the hot stir-fry sauce. You may need to remove them from the hot wok to prevent overcooking your vegetables.
