How to stir fry, temperature, fat and time, to hit. ?
The high temperature required for stir-frying sears food quickly and preserves the natural juices. It takes only minutes (two to five, usually), so vegetables stay bright and crisp, meat browned and succulent. When the heat is high and the cooking quick, the Cantonese describe the result as wok hay―loosely translated "the breath of a wok." It's a difficult quality to define, but you can experience it in the first few moments after food is removed from the wok. The food tastes vibrant and fresh, characterized by concentrated, harmonious flavors with a hint of smokiness. To appreciate wok hay, serve food immediately.

** VERY INCOMPLETE **
-
Blanche veggies, pan not hot enough, meat should be dry and do not season before cooking It should be crunchy and not soggy.
COMEBACK AND FINISH
-
Add soy sauce and stir fry AFTER adding the rice. Do not burn the SAUCE. Unrelated note, since soy sauce could reduce due to heat. Add 1:1 ratio
Til next time,
