Notes
- Prep Strategically: Chopping ingredients beforehand ensures quick, smooth cooking and prevents burning or uneven cooking during the high-heat stir-fry process.

- Balance Aromatic Layers: Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes at the right moment to unlock deep, complex flavor profiles without burning delicate ingredients.
- Shrimp Cooking Precision: Watch carefully for the color transformation from translucent to pink, which indicates ideal doneness and prevents rubbery, overcooked seafood.
