Important Notes
💡 If not cooking immediately after purchasing bean sprouts, store them submerged in water in the refrigerator. Changing the water daily can maintain their crispness and freshness for 3-4 extra days, preventing a musty odor.
⚠️ Drain bean sprouts thoroughly before adding to the wok to prevent excess liquid from diluting the sauce and compromising the 'wok hei' and crunchiness.
🍳 When searing dried tofu strips, minimize stirring to allow the surface to make contact with the wok for a lightly browned, grilled finish while preventing the tofu from breaking.
👥 If you do not like cilantro, you can substitute it with green onion segments, garlic sprouts, or celery according to personal preference.
