Expert Tips
Preheat the skillet for 1-2 minutes. This ensures the cooking surface is hot enough so that you don’t overcook the asparagus and mushrooms.Leave the vegetables alone for a stir-fry appeal. Rather than continuously stirring the vegetables, let them be for 1-2 minutes so the vegetables get golden brown and crispy on the outside.
