Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef — For tender beef slices, freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing it thinly.
• Shrimp — To enhance the flavor, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 15 minutes before cooking.
• Scallops — Pat the scallops dry before cooking to ensure a nice sear.
• Mushrooms — Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt before slicing.
• Glass noodles — Be careful not to overcook the glass noodles, as they can become mushy.
