I am a very happy cook when I can make the most out of valuable free time. There is something deeply rewarding about trying a new recipe and seeing it turn out successful; not just the flavors, but the quality of its presentation. It’s basically the adult version of getting a gold star, but it tastes like soy sauce and victory.

The Game Plan
Before we begin, let’s acknowledge that "stir-fry" is essentially just kitchen-code for "moving things around quickly" so they don't realize they're being cooked. It’s high-speed culinary theater where the broccoli is the star and the cashews provide the essential plot twists. Secure your apron—things are about to get glossy.
