Tips for Success:
- Marinate the Steak (Optional): For extra tender steak, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so avoid overcooking them or they will become rubbery.
- Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer a spicier stir-fry, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
