Always purchase good quality stir fry or sliced beef strips. Because it is quick cooking, the meat has to be sourced from a cut that's tender. You can't hide quality when the cooking process is swift.
Always cook greens "lightly", that is, cook greens quickly in a hot pan and serve immediately. Over cooking greens will result in limp, soggy and yellow or grey looking greens.
