Pro Tips for Success

For the best results, make sure to control your heat when sautéing. Too high of a heat can lead to burnt veggies while leaving them crunchy and undercooked. Chop your veggies uniformly to ensure they cook evenly. And don’t forget to taste as you go—adjust the seasoning to suit your palate!
