Method

Variations and substitutions
- Adjust protein, vegetables, and heat level only when the core technique and sauce remain recognizable.
- For allergies or religious dietary needs, check sauces, broth, wrappers, cooking wine, nuts, sesame, shellfish, and shared wok or fryer use.
- For restaurant-style versions, texture matters as much as flavor: fried items should stay crisp, noodles should not become mushy, and sauces should coat rather than flood the dish.
