Pro Tips (FAQ-style)
How do I keep the vegetables crisp and vibrant?
Ensure your wok is very hot before adding the veggies, cook quickly, and don’t overcook. Remove from heat when veggies are just tender-crisp.
Can I add protein to this?
Yes—add tofu cubes, tempeh or edamame at the same time as the mushrooms for added protein.
What if I don’t have broccolini?
Standard broccoli works perfectly. Use broccoli florets with small stems and adjust cook time if large stems are included.
