I LOVE the clarity and speed of your demonstration!!! No wasted words. You are very friendly, and yet get to the point so well. Love the summary!!!! Presentation is simple yet substantial - which really helps me as I am new to cooking. Thank you so much for the quick and clear video. Everybody doing videos should follow suit.

Made my first stir fry tonight. Did something wrong. I put the sauce in when adding veggies so the finished dish was dark instead of bright vegie colors. It was tasty though. Any comment

I think this is probably THE most useful video I've ever seen concerning this subject. You've cut right through all the nonsense and possibly empowered countless people to eat cheaper and healthier. Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I’m 75 years old and have wanted to cook stir fry a long time, now I can cook stir fry at home. For me. Thank you a lot.🎉❤
This woman should have her own cooking program. She is incredibly likable, and down to earth. Plus a recipe is very good. With the upcoming disaster country could be headed for, any expensive meals that are good for us should be kind of interest to all

This was probably the most helpful, concise, informative, and friendly cooking tutorial I've found on youtube.
If I were to review 150+ you tube videos on Asian cooking (which I did), the important elements and techniques and comments from them all would be contained in your superb video! Thus, you have summarized and demonstrated all the salient points in stir frying anything. It's a perfect video. Amazing.

GGSS Ginger, Garlic, Soy sauce and Scallions (green onions). That's classic Chinese flavor.
Thank you. I’m 87 and still learning. My daughter and her family will be thrilled. Healthy, familiar ingredients, and easy.
No frills,no fuss! A beautiful presentation and an amazingly simple recipe! Keep it up!
I just got out of the Marines and am trying to learn how to cook something that's not an MRE. This is perfect! I love the way you broke it down into its key components, very easy to follow along, and I feel like I can start adapting this as needed. Thank you!
Listen up, all you KZread wannabe Rachel Ray and Gordon Ramsay aspirants: THIS is how you make a proper cooking video. No annoying boom- boom music. No precious, dreamy shots of a potato behind silk and with a sunset behind it. No single 5 minute shots of the cook beating an egg. Good use of pacing, everything progresses briskly but not too fast, and you credit your viewers wih some intelligence by assuming we have a basic set of skills and common sense. So if you say, add some chopped veggies, I don't get all confused unless I see 13 minutes of you chopping a carrot. Well done all around. Thanks for posting this. I can't wait to try it, it looks delicious. I'm looking forward to your next video.

I agree totally, my mind wasn't boggled down with superfluous nonsense and preachiness. I like this gal and how simplified and non intimidating she made start with the four basics. The pantry things are easy enough to always have on hand as well. If this works for me I might even buy a Wok since a friend had said it's his one pot and he even makes his eggs in it. 🤣

Thanks for pointing out that overloading the veggies ends up steaming them. Explains why mine lose all crunch.

I ran across this recipe today and I had all of the ingredients already. Made it for dinner tonight. Substituted steak in place of chicken. OMG!! This hit the spot. I've eaten two helpings, 😆. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I just made the best stir fry that I have ever made in my entire life. Thank you so much for saving me from my boring "chicken and vegetables" dinners! 🥰
Real cooking from a real person!!! Thanks! Venice,FL
Thank you so much. I love stir fry but I've been doing it all wrong. Love that you gave us a sauce recipe.
