Cooking Tips: When stir-frying, add only enough oil to coat meat being cooked.
If you add too much, the stir fry tends to be greasy.
Cook a small amount of meat at a time.
If you cook too much meat at once, it will cool down your skillet.
You want your skillet to stay good and hot so the meat browns.
If it cools down, you'll end up with water in the skillet which will steam the meat.
