Stir-fry for <strong>3\u20134 minutes<\/strong> until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.<\/p>\n<h3>4 Add the Aromatics<\/h3>\n<p>Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for <strong>1\u20132 minutes<\/strong> until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.<\/p>\n<h3>5 Prepare the Sauce<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
